I am pretty sure those values are valid. This voltage map is taken 
directly from the downstream driver (I wish I had actual 
documentation...) , which also backs it by saying 32 voltage levels are 
supported. However, I find it rather improper to have separate values 
which result in same voltage level. Still, I'm not sure something like 
selector offset exists in struct regulator_desc or elsewhere.
