yes true PMIC dts regulator should do this.
But we have some real time issues observed.

Issue 1:

In PMIC dts node, ASAIK we have three levels of voltages.

1. Default voltage.
2. Minimum voltage. (mandatory entry)
3. Maximum voltage. (mandatory entry)

Let us assume that the if PMIC regulator dts node supports  defaults 
voltage to 3.2 Volts and Min  as 3.1 V and max as 3.3V
So default operating voltage is 3.1V  when we turn on BT (but according 
to spec SoC requires min of 3.3V to operate,
Might have some functionality failures on end to end testing

Issue 2:

WCN3990 RF is shared with WiFi, so it also try to turn on the 
regulators. Wifi driver uses the same approach of restricting to min and 
max voltages in driver.
Let us assume we turned ON BT and CH0 is set to 3.1v (as in your case), 
Wifi is tuned on now, as its request the CH0 to operate at 3.3 Volts, 
regulator will fail to set this voltage as BT is operating
at CH0 3.1v (assuming max voltage is 3.2v)
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/snoc.c#n39

Issue 3:

By mistake PMIC has low min or default voltage and high max voltages, 
that is harm for WNC3990.

I would suggest to restrict the min and max voltages in driver, instead 
of relaying on PMIC to do this.
BTW pmic will do this and doing it in our driver is safer.

Let me know your views on this.
