Just wondering if you had looked at the regulator supplier field in
struct regulator_init_data. It's intention was to allow LDO D to be
switched OFF only when all it's consumer regulators were OFF. Likewise
it would also switch this regulator ON if any of it's children were
switched ON.

I assume for this PMIC it would not be useful as it looks like this LDO
is supplying all other PMIC regulators and is ultimately being used as
master power ON/OFF switch ? 

Samuel, are you happy for this to go via mfd for simpler merging ?
If so :-
