Please split this refactoring of _list_voltage() into a separate patch
for ease of review.  It can go in separately which will make this change
smaller and easier to review.

As I think I said on the previous version I'm not enthusiastic about
having two separate code paths for setting the voltage, it makes it much
more likely that things will break especially given how rare coupled
regulators are.  It would be cleaner to make uncoupled regulators just
be a special case of coupled regulators, that way more of the code is
shared.  To that end I'd adjust the code so that we always have a
coupling descriptor and then handle the case where there's only one
regulator described in there.
