You mean _do_enable(), not _enable() here.  It's not really a leftover
as the two operations are doing somewhat different things and the
changes are a bit separate, _is_enabled() is reporting the current state
while _do_enable() is making a change so it should fail if it can't do
that.  

A better way of writing it in the _do_enable() case is that it possibly
ought to be checking if the regulator is enabled before it does
anything, though for uncached regulator operations that then means an
extra I/O which isn't great.  Given that I think rather than ignoring
the missing op it should instead fall back to checking _is_enabled() -
that way if we can read the state but not change it the right thing will
happen.  I'll do a patch, probably tomorrow.
