Subject: [PATCH] twl4030_charger: don't ignore regulator_enable()

regulator_enable() doesn't like being ignored.  If it does fail there
is nothing we can do except not set usb_enabled (which is necessary
else a subsequent regulator_disable() will be unbalanced).

We cannot usefully return an error here as errors from
twl4030_charger_enable_usb() are ignored.
