I did at one point. The problem here is you aren't simply controlling the
current / voltage. You are switching it between various automatic modes
and a manual override. Only in the manually overridden states is it
much like a regulator and then it's one with very odd properties.

If these are consistent enough across different pmic's I guess it could
be blugeoned in, but I'm not convinced this is true.
