regulator: If we can't configure optimum mode we're always in the best one
If either a regulator driver can't tell us what the optimum mode is (or doesn't have modes in the first place) or the system doesn't allow DRMS changes then it's more helpful for users to just say that we're in the optimal mode, even if it's from a selection of one. Still report errors if the process of picking and setting a mode changes as this may indicate that we're stuck in a low power mode and unable to deliver a higher current that the consumer just asked for.
