AFAIK the AXP datasheets mention that unused DCDC outputs should be left floating. Not sure if this applies to LDO outputs as well. But any used outputs would have a bypass capacitor. >From the board designs I've seen, this seems to be the common case. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I think we're covered here. Another thing we need to deal with is the different power sequencing requirements for the different SDIO chips.
