No, there is no such . Device Tree defines per-device min/max
constraints and any value between these values should be supported.

You mean read back what voltage is set now? By all means - that's what
it is doing for "read only" devices.

Ok, I guess I should use regulator_list_voltage_linear() and
regulator_map_voltage_linear() then? I'll just have to carefully think
what step to choose.

Sure, will do.
