But that isn't the case. According the driver comment they just want to
make sure that this GPIO is high to ensure that the correct regulator
config registers are used.

According the binding the driver should check this and apply the value
to the corresponding L/H register but unfortunately this isn't the case
yet. Does U-Boot handle this correctly?
