I will look - however

1. The powertree internal docs for xe801000 show 1.808 rails derived
    from 1.856 rails for camera sensors

2. Publicly available with registration : 80-185821-1
 
https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/80-18582-1/resource/80-18582-1_REV_AV_PM8010_Data_Sheet.pdf

    Table 3-7 Linear/low-voltage regulator summary

    Specified programmable range (V)
    ldo3, ldo4, ldo6 = 1.808 to 3.312

3. The pmic ranges I'm looking at on the internal
    show increases of 8000 mv linearly

Hrmm...

OK, that's enough to investigate further.
