Probably, you're lucky I even looked at this - the number of irrelevant
patches I get CCed on is such that I'll often delete things that look
irrelevant unread.  I'm unsure what the relevance is, it looks like it's
mainly a discussion about pinctrl?

Why would this make any kind of sense?

Could someone say what the actual problem was please?  That was a very
long e-mail so I might be missing something but the obvious thing seems
to be to force a state since we'll be doing that when we enable anyway.
Or just not have the voltage table and use it as a continuous regulator.
