Thanks.

My feeling is that if all use-cases today are using either 1.8V or 3.3V,
then may be we should not worry about this and only support either 1.8V
or 3.3V. I would be more in favour of supporting other voltages if there
is a real need.

Yes, but I am saying why not put this information in the main struct and
not bother having yet another struct where half of the information is
duplicated.

Ok, then I think it would be much simpler if we just support the
voltages we are using today.
