In general this driver seems like it's trying to implement a bunch of
policy and extra features beyond standard regulator support - please
strip it back more, if you feel that there's things that really do need
to be added in the driver itself post them as separate patches. It's
also open coding some features the core provides. This should all make
the driver much smaller and simpler.

None of these sysfs files are appropriate for a driver, if they are
useful they should be added to the core (but some of them seem like
they duplicate files that already exist, this one being an example).
There's absolutely nothing device specific about any of them.

If this is needed add it to the core, but really this sort of stuff is
going to be very board specific - it'll depend on what the load on the
regulator is - and it's pretty rare for anything to care, you don't have
the same issues you have on enable.

Just use the generic operation, this wrapper is not adding anything
except code size.

This should just read the status, if the caller wants to retry for a
while then the caller can make that decision.

Use poll_enabled_time to check the status, no need for a custom enable
operation.

As per coding-style.rst both sides of the if statement should use braces
if one does.

*If* the driver is creating sysfs devices it *definitely* shouldn't be
creating and destroying them dynamically at runtime.

This function has one caller and one statement in it, just inline it.
