Since that didn't fit well with the existing regulator apis it was As I'm getting fed up of saying: if the values you are setting are not voltages and do not behave like voltages then the hardware should not be represented as a voltage regulator since if they are represented as voltage regulators things will expect to be able to control them as voltage regulators. This hardware is quite clearly providing OPPs directly, I would expect this to be handled in the OPP code somehow.
