The goal makes sense but I don't think it makes sense to do this in the
driver - changing this without the core knowing is likely to lead to
confusion at some point and also I think this behaviour is likely to be
the same for every regulator that has a bypass mode (at least if it
isn't I'm kind of confused about how it's bypassing, usually the minimum
drop is a function of maintaining regulation). Could you look into
doing something like this in the core instead please?
