Hi Francesco:
One more complementary that we can't disable this regulator here, because
that the regulator might not be enabled at all.

But in the case of suspend/resume operations, the regulator_disable() should
be invoked behind of imx6_pcie_assert_core_reset () in resume callback to
balance the enable/disable usage counter.
I would add this change later.
Thanks again for your review comments.
