The core regulator framework does not support this, this is specifically
a property supported by the fixed voltage regulator.

This would at a minimum need the bindings for the regulators on the
affected platforms to be updated.  What exactly are we talking about in
terms of the actual configuration here, what goes wrong if we don't
leave the regulator powered off and how sure are we that this is
platform specific rather than regulator specific?  I'm guessing these
are LDOs?
