What is "snapping" a voltage?

Don't open code mapping the voltage, just implement set_voltage_sel().

Just implement separate operations for the regulators with different
register definitions.  It's going to simplify the code.

I'm not entirely sure what this is intended to do.  It looks like it's
doing something to do with current limits but it's a set_mode().  Some
documentation might help.  It should also be implementing only specific
modes and rejecting unsupported modes, if we do the same operation to
the device for two different modes that seems wrong.

This looks very broken - why are we storing anything here?  What is the
stored value supposed to do?

No, this is just plain broken.  Constraints are set by the *board*, you
don't know if these settings are safe on any given board.

module_platform_driver() or if you must bodge the init order at least
use subsys_initcall() like everyone else.
