As far as I can tell, this patch is correct, since those GPIOs are in
fact used to discharge the rails after disabling them, rather than to
enable/disable the rails.

Equally, these GPIOs affect multiple rails at once, so listing the GPIO
as a property of a single regulator seems wrong either way.

However, PMU_REGEN1 does seem to feed the "EN" pin of U13C1, a DC/DC
switcher for power rail 3.3v_modem, so perhaps there's more going on
here than I see?

In summary, I need Laxman to comment on this and ack the change, and
explain why these GPIOs were listed as regulator enables when it doesn't
seem that they are.

Don't you want to simply remove the "enable-active-high" and "gpio"
properties, but leave the regulator definitions present, in case
something wants to reference these fixed(?) rails as their supply?
