Exactly, also it supports the RTC. Okay try to re-organize the PMIC drivers.

Will fix it.

Good idea, create the generic voltage map something like this

int generic_get_voltage_map(base, step, index)
where base is 800, step is 50, and actual index.

Before call the generic_get_voltage_map() we should check the index.

We just remove it. it's unused function actually.

Okay we will check it.
