Moving the code around is related with the gotos, which are related
with the new set_voltage_sel. If we can agree that using goto is the
right thing to do (please see my rationale below) I could create a
separate patch introducing it. However this will only somewhat
mitigate the code moving around, since we still need separate paths
for set_voltage_time and set_voltage_time_sel.

The main purpose is to avoid deeply nested code branches.

Without gotos I think we'd end up with something like this:

static int _regulator_do_set_voltage(struct regulator_dev *rdev,
                                     int min_uV, int max_uV)
{
	...
	if (ret == 0 && !rdev->constraints->ramp_disable) {
		if (rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_time_sel) {
			if (old_selector >= 0 && old_selector != selector)
				  rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_time_sel(rdev, old_selector, selector);
		} else {
		       if (old_uV != new_uV) {
				if (rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_time)
					delay = rdev->desc->ops->set_voltage_time(rdev, old_uV, new_uV);
				else
					delay = _regulator_set_voltage_time(rdev, old_uV, new_uV);
		       }
		}

		// delay
	}
}

I can change the patch accordingly if this is preferred.
