Hi Alex, 
Yes,the default setting of SW2 ~SW4in the regulator array is 0.4V~1.975V
(Bit6 clear),and my code will check the true setting of Bit6. If Bit6=1
I will change min_uV from 0.4V to 0.8V ,step from 25mV to 50mV as what
hardware define. I don't think we should mix the two define as what you
mean 0.4V~3.3V. Because for every pfuze100 chip, the voltage of SW2~SW4
is 0.4V~1.975V or 0.8V~3.3V, not 0.4V~3.3V(from software view,Bit6 only
readable).

No,should be:
For 0.8V~3.3V, use 50mV step if set BIT6

Yes, I have used regulator_list_voltage_linear to list voltage, so that
regulator core will regulator_map_voltage_linear to find the right voltage.

Great, the voltage mapping is right.
