Why is this part of this patch?

This looks like it needs an update.

This boilerplate can be removed.

If for some reason the PMIC is sufficiently fragile to need a delay
between enables it's not clear why the driver is doing it before
enabling rather than after, presumably there's issues with the regulator
ramping up and stabalising its output

I'm not sure all these comments are adding anything.

This should not be a hot path that needs an unlikely() annotation.

This means that for *any* load at all we select NORMAL - I'm not
convinced this is intentional?
