Regulator need not be a GPIO regulator. I'd drop this from the
title.

The brcmfmac OTOH, reprobes when resuming from suspend. Before this patch,
AFAIU, it should've been possible for the EP to go into D3cold during suspend.
This may no longer be possible when we keep vpcie powered.

Prior to a4bb720eeb1e, vpcie was briefly toggled during PCIe core reset sequence,
so aforementioned WiFi modules that don't reprobe over resume should've been broken
by that too? If so, I don't see how it fixes that commit as everything that is broken
now was broken before that commit as well. After this patch however, modules that can
accept vpcie being toggled can't benefit from some of the power saving.
Why can't users with this issue use a regulator-always-on regulator instead?

Shouldn't the regulator enable be undone if the probe later fails?
