I just found an interesting genre of weird but potentially useful chip: System support PMICs for large SoCs such as BD71805 (2$, i.MX SoCs), RK809 (2$, Rockchip SoCs) or WL2868 (50ct, Omnivison SoCs). These chips provide between 7 and around a dozen DC/DC or LDO channels with digitally configurable voltage(!) through I2C, battery charge measurement, and configurable power-on sequencing. Some even have fun bonus features such as an RTC, or a built-in audio codec(?!).
