Why not do this at the time we apply the voltage?  That would seem to be
more robust, doing it in a separate place means that we might update one
bit of code and not the other or might change the execution path so that
one gets run and the other doesn't.

I do share your concerns about having this logic mirrored here is
risky, unfortunately the regulator object is created upon request from
a consumer; so it is not available when regulator_register() calls
set_machine_constraints().

Oh, hang on - that's what you mean by a regulator object...   I don't
think this fixes the problem you think it does.  What is the actual
problem you're trying to fix here?  The min_uV and max_uV on a consumer
struct are supposed to be the request from that consumer, they should
only be set if the consumer actually made a request for a voltage range.

An alternative is to drop the conditional setting of
REGULATOR_CHANGE_VOLTAGE from of_regulator.c and force the regulator
drivers to set this flag explicitly; to avoid the difference in
behavior depending on configuration.

Why would having each individual driver open code things help?
