Describe the bug

Found with proprietary PDK, but repro's with ASAP7 PDK

If the ASAP7 PDN gen script is updated from:

define_pdn_grid -name {top} -voltage_domains {CORE} -pins {M6}

to:

define_pdn_grid -name {top} -voltage_domains {CORE} -pins {M6} -starts_with POWER

Expected Behavior

If the -starts_with is ignored for some reason, we might want to log it and why.
