If the driver called regulator_enable() (and that didn't return an
error) it can always call regulator_disable() as many times as it called
regulator_enable(), no need to check if the regulator is still enabled.  
When the driver hasn't successfully called regulator_enable() it
shouldn't call regulator_disable() even if the regualtor is enabled.
This means that after your driver has enabled the regulator it can just
disable it but between the regulator_get() and regulator_enable() it
shouldn't do that.
