I had a look at the various REGULATOR_CHANGE_* flags.

#define REGULATOR_CHANGE_VOLTAGE	0x1
#define REGULATOR_CHANGE_CURRENT	0x2
#define REGULATOR_CHANGE_MODE		0x4
#define REGULATOR_CHANGE_STATUS		0x8
#define REGULATOR_CHANGE_DRMS		0x10
#define REGULATOR_CHANGE_BYPASS		0x20

Several functions return an error (and log a KERN_ERR message) if their
corresponding flag is not set:

regulator_check_voltage()	REGULATOR_CHANGE_VOLTAGE
regulator_check_current_limit()	REGULATOR_CHANGE_CURRENT
regulator_mode_constrain()	REGULATOR_CHANGE_MODE

Others succeed silently even if their corresponding flag is not set:

drms_uA_update()		REGULATOR_CHANGE_DRMS
regulator_allow_bypass()	REGULATOR_CHANGE_BYPASS


Why is setting the voltage handled differently than setting the load?

Regards.
