Your subject is 87 columns long, better to squeeze it a bit.

This isn't the normal behavior as it works for everyone at the moment.
You need to explain what special you are doing here, because of which
you are reaching such a situation.

i.e. you are disabling some code that uses GPU ? Please specify exact
code so others can reproduce it as well.

The regulator is already enabled I think at this point by the
bootloader. What you are doing here is syncing the state of the
hardware with the software, which would disallow disabling of the
resource unnecessarily.

Similarly here, explain why this is required to be done.

Do this before checking if (ret), so the resource can be freed all the
time.
