A similar fix was made to the Tegra186 code by commit cefc1caee9dd 
("phy: tegra: xusb: Fix unbalanced regulator disable in UTMI PHY mode"). 
Although the above looks simpler, I am wondering if we should make a 
similar change to the Tegra210 code so that they both are implemented in 
the same way?
