You need a consistent set of operations.  If you want to use raw
voltages you need to add a raw voltage interface for getting the delay,
not mix selector and non-selector interfaces otherwise we'll run into
problems.  It is not sensible to expect a driver that does not use
selectors to implement selectors for some operations, if a driver *does*
use selectors then it should do so consistently.  The latter is probably
the more sensible option for this driver since it does have a list
operation so does understand selectors.
