In principle it should be specified in both places to account for shared
supplies though for all practical purposes for an LCD panel I can't see
multiple users sharing the same regulator and varying the voltage at
runtime.

Yes.

It's reasonably idiomatic to do this if the parsing code is in a
separate function.
