[PATCH 2/2] regulator: Optimise out noop voltage changes

[Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>]

If a consumer sets the same voltage range as is currently configured
for that consumer there's no need to run through setting the voltage
again. This pattern may occur with some CPUfreq implementations where
the same voltage range is used for multiple frequencies.
