Right thinking about it, the voltage must also be configured for the
non always-on cases. So it's not a problem with the regulator
framework, but with twl-regulator's probe function, that should take
care of this.

I guess that's 2nd step.

I thought it's obvious, that this is not the desired behaviour :)

You may have noticed, that I included Mark and Liam. I hope they
can give some feedback. I think there are two bugs:

1. twl_probe() should setup a default voltage based on DT
information.
2. if regulator is in sleep mode, regulator enable should
disable sleep mode.
