Which kernel? The upstream kernel has been booting on Dalmore without
issue for quite a long time, without this patch.

If some other kernel needs some voltage rails to be enabled in order to
use certain hardware, it must be modified to enable them itself. We
should not hack around kernel deficiencies in the bootloader. A kernel
should be able to boot without any bootloader at all.
