Subject: [PATCH RFT] regulator: palmas: Remove wrong voltage setting for
 enabling LDO8 tracking mode

When SMPS45 is set to off and LDO8 tracking is enabled, LDO8 output can be set
from 0.45 to 1.65V and the steps of voltage change is 25mV.

This is done by setting:
        pmic->desc[id].min_uV = 450000;
        pmic->desc[id].uV_step = 25000;

I don't see the point of reading vsel register, multiple the register value by
2 and then write back to the register.

Hi Laxman,

Current code looks strange (and wrong) to me.
I don't see the point of reading vsel register, multiple the register value by
2 and then write back to the register.
Can you double check this patch, in case I might misunderstand the code.

Thanks,
Axel
