Subject: regulator: core: Replace direct ops->enable usage

commit 30c219710358c5cca2f8bd2e9e547c6aadf7cf8b upstream.

There are some direct ops->enable in the regulator core driver. This is
a potential issue as the function _regulator_do_enable() handles gpio
regulators and the normal ops->enable calls. These gpio regulators are
simply ignored when ops->enable is called directly.

One possible bug is that boot-on and always-on gpio regulators are not
enabled on registration.

This patch replaces all ops->enable calls by _regulator_do_enable.
