The else case is in v2 ltc4286.c line 133
It means that the voltage range for programmer is 102.4 volts which is default value,
so driver doesn't need to do any change for VRANGE_SELECT bit.
Additionally, we have checked the behavior of VRANGE_SELECT bit with vendor.
Below is the reply from vendor:
[Our question]
If we change the VRANGE_SELECT bit value to 0, the value would return to default after we restart this device?
Or VRANGE_SELECT bit value would never change util someone change its value?
[ADI reply]
chip reset will go back to default. Thanks.
Thus, we must overwrite this bit if the user fill adi,vrange-select-25p6 here whenever driver probes
