Is the pwm1_enable supposed to be set to 0 if that only does the right
thing if the PWM emits low after pwm_disable()? The question I raised in
v2 about "what is the meaning of disable?" hasn't evolved, has it?

I still think it's unfortunate, that "pwm1_enable" has an effect on the
regulator.

Best regards
