regulator: Don't increment use_count for boot_on regulators
Don't set use_count for regulators that are enabled at boot since this stops the supply being disabled by well-behaved consumers which do balanced enables and disabled. Any consumers which don't do disables which are not matched by enables are unable to share regulators - shared regulators are the common case so the API should facilitate them. Consumers that want to disable regulators that are enabled when they start have two options: - Do a regulator_enable() prior to the disable to bring the use count in sync with the hardware state; this will ensure that if the regulator was enabled by another driver then this consumer will play nicely with it. - Use regulator_force_disable(); this explicitly bypasses any checks done by the core and documents the inability of the driver to share the supply.
