svid mode check is needed only when regulator is enabled for on/off
control later.
Will align the code such that if svid_mode check is done only when
REGULATOR config is enabled
& if it is in svid mode then apply the WA.

By design, SVID mode only has HW control enabled.
This was with the assumption that PGOOD will be used for controlling
Enable of another rail in Hardware.

Since my use case needs the complete PMBUS based control,
EN pin polarity flipping can be used for controlling output.
