Inside machine_constraints_voltage() a loop is in charge of verifying that each of the defined voltages are within the configured constraints and that those constraints are in fact compatible with the available voltages' list. When the registered regulator happens to be defined with a wide range of possible voltages the above O(n) loop can be costly. Moreover since this behaviour is triggered during the registration process, it means also that it can be easily triggered at probe time, slowing down considerably some module loading. On the other side if such wide range of voltage values happens to be also continuous and without discontinuity of any kind, the above potentially cumbersome operation is also useless. For these reasons, avoid such .list_voltage poll loop when regulator is described as 'continuous_voltage_range' as is, indeed, similarly already done inside regulator_is_supported_voltage().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
