I rechecked that with 5.11, 5.10 and 5.9 and I see on all of them the
same issue:

[ 31.716031] vdd-5v: disabling
[ 31.719032] rst-usb-eth2: disabling
[ 31.722553] buck2: disabling

While on that I tried to compare with other boards and see that they
also have the cpu-voltage marked as "regulator-always-on". The only
exception in dts/freescale is in imx8mq-librem5-devkit.dts [1] that
has not set this property.

I agree with you and don't understand why this is happening. Has
anyone else an explanation?
