I think we should be doing what I'd expected this series to do and
looking up the supply as and when we need it when applying constraints.
That will only affect systems where there is a practical issue which
should minimise the impact. Long term we want a bigger refactoring but
I think we need to sort out what's going on with probe ordering in
general before we do that, that's part of the problem here - people
really aren't happy with deferral and for good reason.

That breaks other boards that start up with out of spec variable voltage
regulators and therefore fail to probe some of the devices using those
regulators.
