Hmm. I'm sure the rail value should be 1.808 its all over the 
documentation for example when we get to index 3 we hit 2608000

REGULATOR_LINEAR_RANGE(1808000, 0,  2,  200000),
1808000 0
2008000 1
2208000 2
2408000 x
REGULATOR_LINEAR_RANGE(2608000, 3,  28, 16000),

And there are other rails @ 1v8 if 1v8

The one thing I can't easily verify is index 0 = 1808000 and not say 
1800000 or indeed that the increment is 200000 and not say 8000.

I'll see if I can ask around with the hw people and get a more complete 
answer.

Similarly now that you've gotten me digging into this problem, it's not 
clear to me why this regulator isn't just a linear regulator with an 8mv 
increment over a range of indexes.

At least the documentation I'm looking at doesn't elucidate.

I'll dig some more.
