regulator: Support voltage offsets to compensate for drops in system
Some systems, particularly physically large systems used for early prototyping, may experience substantial voltage drops between the regulator and the consumers as a result of long traces in the system. With these systems voltages may need to be set higher than requested in order to ensure reliable system operation. Allow systems to work around such hardware issues by allowing constraints to supply an offset to be applied to any requested and reported voltages. This is not ideal, especially since the voltage drop may be load dependant, but is sufficient for most affected systems, it is not expected to be used in production hardware. The offset is applied after all constraint processing so constraints should be specified in terms of consumer values not physically configured values.
