Please make the entire comment a C++ one so this looks intentional.

Please write normal conditional statements to make the code easier to
read.

Is this delay needed by the device or is it for the regulator to ramp?
If it's for the regulator to ramp then the regulator should be doing it.

If the regulator is going off you should really be marking the device as
cache only.

Any non-zero value from regulator_disable() is an error, there's similar
error checking issues in other places.

These look like simple on/off switches so should have Switch at the end
of the control name.  It's also not clear to me why this is exported to
userspace - why would this change at runtime and won't any changes need
to be coordinated with whatever else is connected to the signal?

These are also Switch controls.  There are *lots* of problems with
control names, see control-names.rst.

Any reason to keep the device powered up?  It looks like the power on
process is just powering things up and writing the register cache out
and there's not that many registers so the delay is trivial.

It's better to print error codes if you have them and are printing a
diagnostic so people have more to go on when debugging problems.
