sorry I dont quite understand your point.

static struct regulator_ops spmi_hfs430_ops = {
	/* always on regulators */
	.set_voltage_sel	= spmi_regulator_hfs430_set_voltage, *
	.set_voltage_time_sel	= spmi_regulator_set_voltage_time_sel, *
	.get_voltage		= spmi_regulator_hfs430_get_voltage,
	.map_voltage		= spmi_regulator_common_map_voltage, *
	.list_voltage		= spmi_regulator_common_list_voltage,
	.get_mode		= spmi_regulator_hfs430_get_mode,
	.set_mode		= spmi_regulator_hfs430_set_mode,
};

find_range affects the functions above with *

You are right and I can easily adjust the private
spmi_regulator_hfs430_set_voltage. And since it is quite small I can
also _duplicate_ the common function spmi_regulator_set_voltage_time_sel
with a small change for hfs430.

But spmi_regulator_common_map_voltage ends up being a large function and
I dont see the point in replicating it to save the "if" statement above.

why cant different logical_types extend spmi_regulator_find_range(..)?

Or maybe are you saying that I should add a new interface to struct
spmi_regulator that implements priv_find_range(..) for the logical types
that dont want to use the common implementation?

But also I am not sure I see the benefits with respect to the proposed
change...

this implementation follows what the common function
spmi_regulator_common_get_mode implements (ie, checks for a case and
defaults if that is not the one; and when defaulting,  there is no
reporting that it is actually defaulting: ie, defaulting is not being
interpreted as an error..should it?)

ok.
