Yeah, it doesn't make much difference if the refcount is 1 or higher.
For any refcount higher than 1, it's a serious unbalance of reg enable
+ disable.
And I agree that this may complicate reviews, as this would be one
extra subtlety [in the regulator framework] to account for.

Will send an RFC v2 with the short-hand.
I'm not trying to force anything with this, but looking at all the
repetitiveness of the devm_add_action_or_reset() hook to disable
simple regulators, I thought I'd [also] propose a variant or another.
