Ok, gotcha. I can see that would be the case for when you call
regulator_get_voltage() (ie. in the probe), but what about the notifier?
I imagine that in the notifier, at least for the pre-change case, that
the voltage is the target and not the actual. So I am wondering if we
need to check for a range in the notifier?

Ah yes, you have an array of regulators. Make sense. However, shame to
duplicate some of this data and also would be good to avoid allocating
so much memory in probe for these structs if only a few rails actually
have regulators ...
tiopi->rinfo = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*tiopi->rinfo) *
soc_data->num_pads_cfg, GFP_KERNEL);
