We can't tell if any consumers are ever going to appear, and the
regulator having a voltage outside of the constraints is an urgent
problem we need to fix quickly.  Since we try to bring the voltage to
the nearest end of the constraint the driver could always change the
bogus voltage it reports to one that is excessively high, this would
mean the core will try to bring the voltage down to the maximum rather
than up to the minimum.  The driver could also look at the constraints
when guessing at the hardware configuration rather than claiming an out
of spec voltage, this would mean we wouldn't need to correct anything.
