This new structure needs documentation.

What happens to the other regulators when an element of the chain
fails to disable? Should they be powered on again?

Same thing here - shouldn't the previously enabled regulators be
switched off when one fails to come on? It might be worth documenting
the behaviour being enacted.

Why is the '&=' here? Since it is set to '0' from the start, won't it
always clear all the bits in a potential error return code? Apologies
if I'm missing something.
