it will be fixed in next PATCH.

In this device, the values of selection register for A/B voltage are changed 
automatically  if the status of GPIO is changed.
So it is possible to know the status of GPIO through the value of register.

Your suggestion is correct. The code for the change of the active register 
in the function should be removed. I will send PATCH again.
