The whole idea behind regulator_list_voltage_table() is that it does the
selector to voltage conversion for you, you shouldn't need to do any
additional mapping.

That's fine, the table is small and it only needs to be iterated in
contexts where we're doing I2C I/O. If it's really a problem introduce
generic helpers for this rather than open coding.

If this is being forced by hardware you need to check for that directly
rather than just rejecting it without even trying (but hopefully the
user set their constraints such that this doesn't happen).

It's not your driver's problem to worry about arbitrating between higher
level users, let the framework deal with that (and notice that we have
no code in kernel that actually sets the mode directly at runtime).
That way we will have consistent behaviour between devices rather than
devices trying to enforce their own policies.
