It seems reading some voltages from registers.
For example, BD9571 has "VD18_VID" register which
is prohibit to write. But, BD9574 doesn't have this
register. Also, the driver names "vid_ops",
so I described "VID" here. Perhaps, we should revise
the description to clear. (Please look "Updated description" in this email.)

Yes. Also, reading VD{18,25,33} voltage are not supported.

Yes, these voltage can be set from eeprom and read by driver.
So, I updated the description like below.

-- Updated description --
Add support for BD9574MWF which is similar chip with BD9571MWV.
Note that since BD9574MWF doesn't have avs_ops and vid_ops
related registers, this driver avoids to use these registers
if BD9574MWF is used.

TBH, I don't know why. Perhaps, the driver cannot read DDR0, LDO[1-4] values?
