The selector value is opaque, it's entirely up to the driver to define
it.  If you could tell me what "this" is I might be able to advise on
how to do it.

Tegra124 (and later, also some earlier variants) have this DFLL clock
that can program a PMIC automatically depending on the CPU frequency.
This DT binding did propose putting this into device tree as a table of
<frequency value> pairs where the frequency corresponds to the CPU
frequency and the value is the register value to be programmed into the
PMIC by the DFLL hardware (there are two additional properties to define
the slave address and the register offset).

Andrew proposed that this table could instead be built by using
regulator_list_voltage() instead. However, due to the fact that the DFLL
hardware needs to know the immediate value to write into a register, the
requirement would be for a 1:1 mapping between selector and register
value. Given that the API needs to cover the general case I don't see
how it could practically ensure this.
Well, if you're going to do that you've already created a private API
between the regulator driver and the device since you're assuming that
the device is controlled only by register writes to a single register
bitfield which isn't always the case.

As with all these things it would also be better to extend the regulator
API so that users like this can discover the register address and so on
too rather than having to replicate that information in the device tree.
No sense in having to specify this information multiple times.
That sounds indeed useful for this case. How'd the following interface
sound for the register offset / selector-to-register-value conversion?
The I2C address would be a bit trickier to get as it would touch the
regmap stuff as well, but perhaps it would be a good idea to have a
phandle to the I2C device itself, and then parse the reg field for
the address.
