Hrm, right.  So I guess for this the question is why you need the steps
at all - can't the driver just ask for the voltage it wants with
whatever tolerance is appropriate (or just specify the maximum tolerable
voltage if that's better)?  I'm not sure what cvb_voltage_scale is.

I guess the problem here is that you have to hit some fairly tight
tolerances on the voltage?
