Hi Jon,
I will update the patch per your comment.
Thanks.
Here is answer for some of the query.

Thanks,

Is there a reference we could add for the source of this information?
I had a discussion with the ASIC on this and as per them
    1.8 V nominal is (1.62V, 1.98V)
    3.3 V nominal is (2.97V,3.63V)

I am working with them to update the TRM document but we can assume that
this information will be there in TRM.
My feeling is that if all use-cases today are using either 1.8V or 3.3V,
then may be we should not worry about this and only support either 1.8V
or 3.3V. I would be more in favour of supporting other voltages if there
is a real need.

Is this struct necessary? Seems to be a lot of duplicated information
from the other structs. Why not add the regulator and regulator_nb to
the main struct? OK, not all io_pads have a regulator but you are only
saving one pointer.
Yes, some of IO pads support multi-voltage.
Yes, but I am saying why not put this information in the main struct and
not bother having yet another struct where half of the information is
duplicated.

The data-sheet for Tegra210 only lists 1.8V or 3.3V as supported
options. Do we need to support a range? Or does the h/w support a range
of voltages? I am just wondering why we cannot check explicitly for 1.8V
or 3.3V and treat anything else as an error.
Two voltage level, not range.
Ok, then I think it would be much simpler if we just support the
voltages we are using today.

Cheers
Jon
