Oh, you mean while the regulator is off...  TBH I don't see a huge
problem doing that anyway and just reverting to the bottom of the
constraints when everything gets turned off since we have to see if we
need to adjust the voltage every time we enabled anyway.

Without the core doing something the regulator isn't going to get told
that anything updated voltages anyway...
