Kernel does not know the initial voltage set by the bootloaders.
During regulator registration, the voltage variable is just declared
and it is zero. Based on that, the regulator framework considers current
the voltage as zero and tries to bring up each regulator to minimum
the supported voltage.

This introduces a dip in the voltage during kernel boot and gets
stabilized once the voltage scaling comes into picture.

To avoid the voltage dip, adding support to define the
bootup voltage set by the boodloaders and based on it, regulator
framework understands that proper voltage is already set

I think this is a peculiarity of the particular board that than a property of the PMIC. Please describe this in the board or SoC DTS if the value can not be read using the software .
