Function `mediatek_regulator_balance_voltage()` refers, as stated in the comment
located at the top of its signature, to "GPU<->SRAM" voltages relationships.

So, we're taking into consideration only two regulators:
                   VGPU and VSRAM

The first comment says:
"If we're asked to set a voltage (implicit: to VGPU) less than VSRAM min_uV[...]"

...so, I think that you've misunderstood what the comment says :-)

The comment is on top of a "refuse" or "error" case - one that wants to return 1
and not zero.

Besides, it clearly states:
"The regulator core will keep walking through the list of couplers when any
  .attach_regulator() callback returns 1"

...which is definitely true.

drivers/regulator/core.c
function `regulator_find_coupler()`:

	list_for_each_entry_reverse(coupler, &regulator_coupler_list, list) {
		err = coupler->attach_regulator(coupler, rdev);
		[.....]
		if (err < 0)
			return ERR_PTR(err);

		if (err == 1)
			continue;

		break;
	}

Is that clear now?

Cheers,
Angelo
