This is generally a sign that the regulator API usage is not good, the
driver should not rely on references to the regulator held by anything
else since whatever else is holding the regulator on could turn it off
at any time. If the driver did the enable itself then it should know
that it did so and not need to query.

Note that the regulator startup delay is the time taken for the
regulator to power up so if the device needs additional delay then that
will always need to be in addition to whatever the regulator is doing.
