No, this isn't sensible - fixed voltage regulators aren't an unusual
property of this device, they've very common.  The core should handle
this gracefully.  Probably whatever consumer is doing the setting also
ought to be updated to check that the voltages it wants to set are
supported at startup since otherwise it can end up repeatedly trying to
set something that'll never work.
