I can't really tell what you're saying here.  If the driver needs to
know if it can set the a given voltage there's already an API for doing
that as I said.  If you're trying to convey this minimum and maximum
voltage via the constraints that sounds like an abuse of the constraints.
No, what I want is the voltage which the regulator will output for a given
regulator_set_voltage request taking constraints, regulator step etc into
account.
Knowing the range of the constaints is going to tell you nothing useful
about that, it has zero information on steps or anything.  The way to
find out what voltages can be set is to enumerate the voltages that can
be set through the existing API and then if you want to set a specific
voltage that you've confirmed is available you can set exactly that
voltage via the normal voltage setting interface, no need to provide a
range.

Hi,
I added this API in downstream for the purpose of finding whether rail output can be changed or not(fixed) based on constraints. If min and max is same then it can not change. I used this information to set the pad voltage of SOC automatically.

I dont know other usage when I added this API. May be Peter is needed here.
