This isn't a bug in the core, a negative selector is an error code (and
in general whatever selector is returned by the driver ought to agree
with selectors the driver actually supports).  It's probably at least a
questionable decision in the machine constraints to allow a request for
less than the regulator can deliver to get through though.
