What do you think should happen during startup? Something should call
the set_power callback to enable the device? Or should that only happen
when something writes to /dev/fb0?

I think it worked back when unused regulators were not disabled during
boot.

Yeah, but maybe the core should call set_power(off) then? (Don't know,
maybe that cannot work.)
