Bug fix - in case "intel,vm-map" is missing in device-tree ,'num' is set
to 0, and no voltage channel infos are allocated.

So all vm_idx values from 0x00 to 0xfe would be acceptable ?
Does the chip really have that many registers (0x200 + 0x40 + 0x200 * 0xfe) ?
Is that documented somewhere ?
According to the code vm_num is limited to 32 because the mask is
only 5 bits:

#define VM_NUM_MSK    GENMASK(20, 16)
#define VM_NUM_SFT    16
vm_num = (val & VM_NUM_MSK) >> VM_NUM_SFT;

In practice according to the data sheet I have:
0 <= VM instances <= 8
