It's most like two phase buck controllers internally. 'Vsel' to
control which buck output.
Each phase has its registers (voltage/enable/mode).
The common usage of 'vsel' pin is to connect the pin by SoC suspend/resume pin.
This can be used to implement system low power design (like as system
awake 0.6V, sleep 0.3V or sleep buck off).
I haven't seen the usage to connect it directly by GPIO.
