I think it's useful to define how consumers are supposed to do this somewhere - it is actually part of the core binding how consumers are supposed to do this. There's also a bit of magic here for chained supplies with one regulator supplying another (eg, using a DCDC to drop the system supply down to a lower voltage to supply a bunch of LDOs for improved efficiency).
