You might want to flag stuff like this in the subject line, I very
nearly deleted this without opening it since most of the email I get
about panfrost appears to be coming from me having sent patches rather
than being relevant.

We don't actively prevent it and I can't think what other than debugfs
might run into problems (and that's just a warning) but it does seem
like a weird thing to want to do and like it's pointing to some
confusion in your code with two different parts of the device
controlling the same supply independently.  What's the use case here?
