I kind of answered that in the other email.

Some background may be good here. So Qcom tried to solve all this with virtual
regulators, but the problem was that they need to talk in terms of integer
values (1, 2, 3..) and not voltages and so they can't use the regulator
framework straight away. And so we are doing all this.
