Hey Lee-

A few minor things below.

If you implement .set_voltage_sel() instead and set map_voltage to
regulator_map_voltage_iterate, the core can take care of this.

Considering (ST_PWM_REG_PERIOD / 100) is constant, could you get away
with dropping this calculation by just putting the already-adjusted
values into your duty cycle table?

const.  At least the regulator_desc and duty cycle table should be const
as well. (see my comments below about b2105_info).

You may want a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...); here if you want to be able
to be autoloaded.

Hrm, I typed "cast not necessary here", but then I realized it is
necessary since you using it to cast away constness.

Are you safe assuming that there will only be one of these devices in a
system?  It doesn't seem like much a burden to just allocate a new
object and use it instead of a statically allocated one.
