Your quote earlier in the thread
"
_regulator_is_enabled() *also* returns false
"

Got me curious. Looking at the patch:
dbabd624d4eec50b623bab070d1e39a854b2d65c (regulator: palmas: Reemove
open coded functions with helper functions)
I noticed the following change
palmas_is_enabled_smps -> regulator_is_enabled_regmap

So I decided to search for enable_reg in palmas-regulator.c and I think
it needs valid enable_reg, mask, value for regulator_is_enabled_regmap to work
:).

Maybe to be sure, we could print the following:
PALMAS_SMPS8_VOLTAGE, PALMAS_SMPS8_CTRL, PALMAS_SMPS8_TSTEP,

Anyways, I quickly boot tested the following on DRA7evm (which also uses Palmas):
[ 1.933939] palmas-pmic 48070000.i2c:tps659038@58:tps659038_pmic: enable_reg = 0x00, mask =0x00

It does seem to me that either set_mode also should use core functions
OR you still need a palmas specific is_enable, enable/disable functions
(contrary to the claim of the patch in question - which I think
introduced regressions).

Otherwise, completely untested diff below - can you give this a shot?
