Hello Krzysztof,

Thanks a for your feedback.

Sure, maybe rewording to:

"Callback invoked to translate from hardware to standard modes." ?

But I'll add also document that the parameter should be a hardware
mode and the return value a standard mode.

regulator ops are for the operations that a regulator support
(enable, disable, set mode, etc). All the thse are actions but
how to translate between hardware and standard modes is not an
action but a non-varying configuration of the regulator.

So I believe that regulator desc was what fit the most. I don't
have a strong opinion though if people think that it should be
in regulator ops instead.

Best regards,
Javier
