Under DT it would be done using a fixed voltage regulator.

Somewhat of a pain to basically use a random value as the default going
forward. Presumably this isn't the first ever ACPI table to need to
tell use about a reference voltage...

Mark, seen anything similar?

I see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/arm-acpi.txt suggests
that mapping to regulators isn't expected to ever happen...
