The richtek,rt4801 enable-gpios are for controlling two separate
regulators, so it should have been under regulator subnodes/children.
Some other regulators follow this pattern, so only this one is done that
way.

That driver could be converted to enable-gpios per regulator, so if you
are sure about rejection of new cases, how about keeping current
exceptions in allOf:if?
