[PATCH 1/4] regulator: core: Support trying to get close to a certain voltage

[Doug Anderson]

There are some cases where you'd like to set a voltage for a regulator
and a range of voltages are OK, but you'd really like to get as close
as you can to a specific voltage if at all possible.

The VQMMC (IO voltage) regulator for SD cards is the inspiration for
needing this function.  A few things about SD cards to justify its
need:

1. In old systems (before UHS), the VMMC and VQMMC were provided by
the same regulator.  That means that SD cards were all tested with
VMMC and VQMMC being exactly the same.  With UHS we need to have two
regulators providing VMMC and VQMMC.  For maximum compatibility, we'd
like to keep those two regulators providing the exact same voltage
when we're using "3.3V signaling".  Note: VMMC is managed with very
specific rules in the MMC core and we tend to pick the _highest_
supported voltage in range.

2. On UHS systems we'll eventually negotiate the IO voltage (VQMMC)
down to 1.8V.  Note that we don't provide a 1.8V reference voltage to
the SD card so it comes up with 1.8V on its own based on VMMC (perhaps
using an on-card LDO).  While the SD card spec says that VQMMC can be
1.7V to 1.95V, it seems best to try to get the closest voltage.
Trying to achieve 1.8V means that the card and controller drive the IO
lines (which are push-pull) with as close to the same voltage as
possible.
