The way I'd expect to see that handled is that the constraints would be
chosen when the module is detected, possibly by having a platform device
representing the assembly as a whole.  There was someone working with
plugin modules doing something along those lines.  I certainly wouldn't
expect the device itself to worry about this unless it was actively
doing something to manage the voltage.
