[PATCH net] net: pse-pd: Fix enabled status mismatch

From: Kory Maincent
Date: Wed Oct 02 2024 - 08:17:29 EST


PSE controllers like the TPS23881 can forcefully turn off their
configuration state. In such cases, the is_enabled() and get_status()
callbacks will report the PSE as disabled, while admin_state_enabled
will show it as enabled. This mismatch can lead the user to attempt
to enable it, but no action is taken as admin_state_enabled remains set.

The solution is to disable the PSE before enabling it, ensuring the
actual status matches admin_state_enabled.

Fixes: d83e13761d5b ("net: pse-pd: Use regulator framework within PSE framework")

FYI: Saving the enabled state in the driver is not a viable solution, as a
reboot may cause a mismatch between the real and software-saved states.
