Hi Dan,

The device indeed can only support up to 6.5V, the point is you are using
linear equation to calculate the voltage of each selecter.
In your current code:
#define LM36274_LDO_VSEL_MAX           0x34 (and it's .n_voltages)
So it supports selector 0 ... 0x33.
For selector 0x33 in the linear equation is
4000000 + 50000 * 51 = 6550000 (i.e. 6.55V)
i.e. The device actually only support up to 6.5V but the driver
reports it support up to 6.55V
     because regulator_list_voltage() will return 6.55V for selector 0x33.
(I have off-by-one in my previous reply because when .n_voltages is
0x34, it supports up to 0x33)

Regards,
AXel
