Hi Mark,

thanks for your review, please find some comments below.

Sorry about that, I'll try to use git send-email in the future to avoid
this kind of things.

The old_selector conditions could be moved into the "else if
(rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_sel)" branch above, is that you mean?

Not sure how to interpret your question. Would you prefer no to use
gotos, should the notification be skipped in case the voltage is not
changed, do you expect a comment, ...?

Ok, with your comment below on a default implementation this would
become something like:

if (ops->set_voltage_time) {
	return ops->set_voltage_time(...);
} else if (!ops->set_voltage_time_sel) {
	return _regulator_set_voltage_time(..);
}

// previous code

It will certainly make the diff clearer, for the resulting code my
preference would be to avoid the negative condition on
ops->set_voltage_time_sel to enter the default case, but that's a
minor question.

Having this as default implementation sounds good. Thanks for the suggestion!
