No, this is completely broken and exactly the sort of thing that makes
doing generic device .dtsi a bad idea.  We have absolutely no idea if
these voltage ranges are suitable for use on a given board using the
device, these are the design limits for the device but tell us nothing
about the system they are deployed in.
