This looses several resources allocated earlier, like the enable gpio
and the pwm. This is really bad here since I have no regulator specified
and devm_regulator_get returns with -EPROBE_DEFER. Next time the core
tries to probe the driver the driver bails out because the gpio and the
pwm is already requested.
