I believe this "mark it boot-on so that the firmware, e.g. U-Boot,
enables it at boot" sentence is a bit misleading. AFAIK, u-boot does not
parse the kernel dtb to see which regulators need to be enabled. The
'regulator-boot-on' property in kernel dtb regulator node simply
indicates that this regulator was left ON by the bootloader (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/regulator.yaml). If your
goal is to have the regulator enabled by u-boot, I believe you need to
add that in u-boot dtb as well.
Consider updating the commit messages on both patches accordingly.
