Ohh! Yes! These numbers are binary!
I so apologize for making this mistake...
I will revise the comments in the next patch!
Thank you so much!

Well...
The customers who used this PMIC have very few or even no use exponential curve,
so I set the default to linear.

If you think this is inappropriate, I will add a DT property to
control this feature in the next patch!

By the way,
I found some mistakes in my probe() function... I didn't use "return"
when I use dev_err_probe()...
I will refine it in the next patch!
