Indeed this should be still sorted out but here the assumption is that
regulator is disabled (by probe()) so it should be turned on with
GPIO-reset set.

This can be done at the end of pre-power-on or here (beginning of
post-power-on). On the other hand I understand these pre/post callbacks
as one starting the reset sequence (pre) and second as finishing it
(post). In case of regulators, finishing power sequence is to turn the
regulator on.
