Okay now we are on the right way :) Is the solution proposed by Doug:
".. we need to match "regulator->enable_count" to "rdev->use_count" at
the end of _regulator_get() in the exclusive case..." the correct fix?

Another question. Please can you have a look on the "DA9062 PMIC fixes
and features" series as well?
