The above changelog sounds like a regulator consumer not a regulator -
based on what I'm reading there it's a driver that looks at the voltage
being supplied to the device and sets some configuration in the device
based on that voltage.  This isn't that unusual for analogue circuits
but it's definitely not something that's actually doing voltage
regulation.
