Why is this always-on, considering that the SATA node references this,
and presumably the driver explicitly enables this regulator?

If there are two regulators required for the SATA devices, shouldn't the
SATA node's target-supply property reference them both? Well, I suppose
there'd need to be target-5v-supply and target-12v-supply properties,
since each regulator property can only reference a single supply, IIRC.
I think the DT binding needs to be updated for this.
