In a case of NVIDIA Tegra SoCs, it's coupling of CPU core *and* SoC core
regulators. I see that Exynos also couples the always-on regulators.

Properly handling case of a disabled coupled regulator certainly will be
useful, but looks like there are no real users for that feature right
now and thus no real testing is done.

Keeping coupled regulators in s valid voltage range is the today's main
feature.
