What is the issue being fixed here?  This looks like a stylistic change
rateher than a bug fix.

So this is adding support for a new chip?  Whatever the answer it's
clearly a distinct change from the above and should therefore be a
separate patch.

This looks wrong, the expected behaviour for the regulator API is that
the driver will pick the minimum voltage within the range.  Why is this
being done?
