It bounced for some reason, trying to send again.

If omit voltage-tolerance, sometimes also can't get appropriate voltages.
For example:
If the regulator IC only can supply min voltage is 1.000V and max voltage is 1.200V, and cpu work max voltage is 1.200V.
But the cpu just need 1.100V when cpu run under a freq.
So regulator_set_voltage_tol will return failed.
Because the regulator_set_voltage will invoke with min-uV is 1100000 and max-uV is 1100000 parameters.
Regulator can't supply it.
As this case, the regulator just need supply 1.200V.
