Hi Mark,

thanks for the review.

Copy&paste error, won't happen again.

Ouh, strange thinko. For some reason I left them out of the switch
statement because they felt like default values. And why wouldn't the
structure be initialised with default values, right? Will add them
there.

There is a "#define MAX1586_V3_MAX_VSEL 31" already, I'll use that.
(And there's a second reference in _calc_voltage)

Yes, I could put the struct regulator_dev[] at the end of max1586_data.

Ok. I'll add something like "#define MAX1586_NO_R24 -1" and reject
everything else with -EINVAL.
