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).
