OK, the confusion comes from your terminology invention rather than the
driver then :(

It's not just that.  The very modes themselves are not defined at all
consistently between regulators - the set of options varies wildly as
does the range of applications they are suitable for.  We want people to
not only define numbers here but also names that make sense in the
context of the regulator documentation that can then be mapped into the
concept of modes we've inherited in the regulator subsystem.
