May I add the 'richtek,use-fix-dvs' property back ?
which is the proerty I add in v1 patch series to let the user determines whether the LDO Vout is fixed or not.

+		fixed_uV = of_property_read_bool(match->of_node, "richtek,use-fix-dvs");
+
+		if (fixed_uV) {
+			desc->n_voltages = 1;
+			desc->fixed_uV = init_data->constraints.min_uV;
+			desc->ops = &rtq2208_regulator_ldo_fix_ops;
+		} else {
+			desc->n_voltages = ARRAY_SIZE(rtq2208_ldo_volt_table);
+			desc->volt_table = rtq2208_ldo_volt_table;
+			desc->ops = &rtq2208_regulator_ldo_adj_ops;
+		}
