Hi Jon,
I will update the patch per your comment.
Here is answer for some of the query.

Thanks,
Laxman

I had a discussion with the ASIC on this and as per them
     1.8 V nominal is (1.62V, 1.98V)
     3.3 V nominal is (2.97V,3.63V)

I am working with them to update the TRM document but we can assume that 
this information will be there in TRM.

Yes, some of IO pads support multi-voltage.

Two voltage level, not range.
