It's unclear to me either. I borrowed this variant from the  preexisting
code [1][2].

This works for a normal regulator_set_voltage() because it checks
whether current voltage equals to the requested and then succeeds [3].
The higher level code relies on this behaviour of the regulator core, in
particular OPP core won't work without it and that's why voltage changes
work for a fixed regulator.

This doesn't work for the regulator_sync_voltage() because it uses a
different code path and the whole point is to re-apply the current
voltage. Hence the extra check is actually needed for the fixed
regulators in order to be consistent with the behaviour of
regulator_set_voltage().
