Get voltage & duty table from device tree might be better, other platforms can also use this

I finally managed to get everything setup and I've now tested this
myself on an rk3288-based board.

I'd imagine the next step is for Lee to comment on the patch and when
he's happy with it Mark Brown will land it?


One thing that's still a bit odd (though no different than the
behavior of the driver from before you touched it, so it shouldn't
block landing IMHO) is that at boot time this regulator will report
that it's at the highest voltage but the voltage won't actually change
until the first client sets the voltage.
Yes, I knew this problem, since the default of duty cycle is 0, not a true value.
If we can get duty from pwm, this regulator will report a correct voltage.

Also: if anyone reading is interested in this patch, it's possible
you'll also be interested in my patch at
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4960731/> to make sue that your
voltage doesn't twiddle around at probe time.
