No, it does *not* disable them if they are configured always_on (as the
code you're modifying shows).

This isn't what boot_on means.  It just means that the regulator is
expected to be enabled at initial power on, it doesn't mean it needs to
be enabled all the time.  Otherwise there'd be no point in having a
separate always_on flag.
