Had a look at regulator_check_consumers() and the range selected by it
is the *highest* min_uV and *lowest* max_uV, to find that intersection
point.

For LCD: min_uV = 2.0 V, max_uV = 3.0 V
For DMA: min_uV = 1.8 V, max_uV = 2.5 V

Highest min_uV = 2.0 V
Lowest max_uV = 2.5 V

And so I mentioned the regulator's final range (that satisfies all
consumers) is 2 - 2.5 V.

Why do you say it should be 2.5 - 3.0 V ?
