This results in a race where the regulators are powered down before
we remove the userspace interfaces. All sorts of fun can therefore
occur...

If we fix that with some devm_add_action_or_reset fun then there
is still the fact that we loose the 'obviously correct' property
of the remove being a mirror of the probe because the ordering
wrt to runtime_pm is different.

So I'd leave this one alone.

Thanks,

Jonathan
