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

Thanks,
Laxman

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.

+ struct notifier_block regulator_nb;

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.

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.
