In both cases enabling and then leaving the resource enabled throughout
the runtime of the device isn't normally the best practice for using
them.  You usually want to enable and disable at runtime with mechanisms
like runtime PM when the device is idle rather than burning power all
the time and once you start doing that managed resources don't fit so
well.
