SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 01/11] regulator: core: add API to get voltage constraints

That's a reasonable thing to want to know. The way the API wants you to
ask that question at the minute is to check if you can set the voltages
you might want to set and then if there's only one possible voltage you
can conclude that change is not possible. I appreciate that that's a
bit of a long way round to do it, the thinking was to try to keep the
client drivers more robust in cases you can change the voltage but not
to all the values the driver wants. I'd consider relaxing that and
having a direct API to ask about variability (just as a boolean) since
it does occur to me that this can be a useful speedup during init but I
need to think.
