yes, they are different control paths. To give a relative history:

(OMAP3)TWL5030 -> we can control SMPS from either i2c1 OR i2c_SR by
flipping a control bit - but only one path at a time.
(OMAP4)TWL6030 -> only i2c_SR control allowed for SMPS
(OMAP5)Palmas family -> we can control using i2c1 or i2c_SR -> so no
real need for using voltage controller for SMPS.

that said, it is necessary to use SR path to ensure that AVS also
functions. which requires on OMAP4,3 to use i2c_SR.

Glad to be of help.
