Still, setting selector in this case does nothing, as it is immediately
overwritten by the regulator core by -1. This looks like a perfectly
acceptable way to implement a regulator, as everything checks for the
presence of list_voltage anyway.
If you really insist, I could probably make something that does a
list_voltage and shows min and max voltages for the regulator, but I
don't know about the usefulness of that.
