I'd like to see a user here, and I'd also like to understand why this is
a better approach than using a callback to postpone these expensive
operations until the regulator is actually powered off like we already
do for some things like register cache resyncs.  That is normally better
since it also avoids the work in cases where the regulator isn't always
on like reenabling during a delayed powerdown or shared regulators.

You're also missing a !CONFIG_REGULATOR stub.
