It will only do this for regulators which have constraints which
enable the kernel to change the power state of the regulator, the
regulator core will never make any change to hardware that was
not explicitly permitted by constraints so should be perfectly
safe unless constraints are provided in which case it's up to
whoever provides the constraints to make sure they are safe.
