I found a use_count leakage towards supply regulator of rdev with
boot-on option.
┌───────────────────┐           ┌───────────────────┐

In case of rdev(A) configured with `regulator-boot-on', the use_count
of supplying regulator(B) will increment inside
regulator_enable(rdev->supply).
Thus, B will acts like always-on, and further balanced
regulator_enable/disable cannot actually disable it anymore.
However, B was also configured with `regulator-boot-on', we wish it
could be disabled afterwards.
