The code doesn't make it always on, it makes it how it should be at
the recommended OPP which is the "start point".

If the recommended OPP says to switch off the regulator then it will.

The issue is that my regulator is not marked as "always-on", if no OPP
is called before regulator_late_cleanup() then nobody sets the
regulator_enable() and the regulator is switched off, which makes my
board hang.

Like Viresh recommends I will send an update with more details in the
commit log.

Clement
