+ # Setups where regulator (especially the buck8) output voltage is scaled

The BD71837 buck output voltages are in a few cases scaled using external connection which adds a pull-up to regulator feedback pin. This connection will adjust output voltage from regulator in a deterministic way. Add support for describing this HW connection so that driver can adjust voltage ranges accordingly.
