This is replicating checks done by the core.

Drivers should never look at their constraints, they should let the core
do that and just do what they're asked.  In this case it is probably
best to implement a get_voltage_sel() operation and have the conversion
to voltage done by regulator_map_voltage_linear(), this will both make
the code look better and mean the driver gets the benefit of all the
error checking done by the core.

This really needs a comment to explain what on earth is going on here -
the whole thing with writing the same thing twice with two delays is
more than a little odd.  It looks like the driver is trying to busy wait
in cases where the change happens quickly but the comments about "fast"
and "normal" mode make this unclear.

This seems buggy - it'll always return true for MXS_VDDD if MXS_VDDA
enabled won't it?

Please try to avoid the ternery operator, it does nothing for
legibility.

Use different compatibles to identify the regulators, regulator-name
should never be mandatory.

Why is this not looked up from the data structure like the rest of the
data?

Don't add noise like this to the boot log, it provides no useful
information.

Use devm_ versions of functions.

module_platform_driver().
