okay.

You are right, the description is wrong.

Unfortunately not as long the step size in microvolt isn't defined. The
parameter defines the register value in hex corresponding to
regulator-max-microvolt.

step size = (regulator-max-microvolt - regulator-min-microvolt) /
mxs-max-reg-val

May be i missed or understand something wrong?

The original driver from Freescale set the MX28 regulator vddio to 3.38
V during registering. I think that is ugly to implement in the driver
part, so i add a more general property in the devicetree binding.
