Given the tendency of corporate speak (aka "this was a good attempt" for a complete screwup), and since this did come up before, I did interpret it along that line. My apologies if that was not the idea.
Still, I really don't know how to resolve this for existing PMBus drivers which do register "vout0" even if there is only a single output regulator.
