Ouch. This does not sound good at all. Sorry for a bad advice. :(

I can only assume the "power dependencies" are not modelled correctly - 
Eg. some required power-rails are not marked to be used by devices that 
actually need them. This is probably being worked around using the 
regulator-boot-on / regulator-always-on - which will cause the Linux to 
turn on these rails when the driver is load. My understanding is that 
this is not the intended use-case for the regulator-boot-on flag though. 
Also, as was said - the side-effect of always-on is that there will be 
no power-saving options - which is still better for an user than a fried 
device would be :|
