Right, same goes for many other devices. Some use a toplevel compatible field,
some do not. Either way, not a big deal if you don't want to include one.

Yeah, true. The fixed regulators used microvolt instead, which could be a good

Ah, ok. It shouldn't be a part of this binding then and instead be added
to the bindings for the consumers.
