DA9210 has only one buck. But DA9211 has two buck configuration.
And the register map is different between two driver.
So it is not possible to share the code.

This is a case with no gpio configuration.
If gpio is configured, the active voltage A/B will be controlled by gpio.
Function da9211_regulator_get/set_voltage_sel  is designed for covering both cases.

The output voltage A/B of DA9211 could be selected by a hardware signal or register.
So if there is no gpio configuration, B voltage channel should be selected during suspend mode.
If user wants to stay same voltage level at suspend mode in case of no gpio configuration,
user must set same voltage level at A/B register.

Originally it is supposed for user to enable/disable various interrupt signal.
But indeed it seems a redundant code. The code will  be reorganized and submitted again.
