Nevermind, the regulator-based approach simply doesn't work here, 
because we pretty frequently end up in a situation like this:

(-5)

This can be reproduced by booting the device in with no cable plugged 
in, then plugging in an OTG cable. It prints the warning on connect and 
disconnect. More importantly, this prevents a switch to/from OTG mode in 
the scenarios that print a warning. (I've also encountered some issues 
with similar warnings being printed on unsuspend, but wasn't able to 
reproduce them; I'm willing to assume they were related to plugging in 
an OTG cable as the wakeup trigger.)

As far as I understand it, this is because regulator_is_enabled checks 
for the hardware state, not for the in-software regulator enable count, 
and the charging bits are flipped on by default (presumably by the 
bootloader). I thought regulator-boot-on would handle this, but clearly 
it doesn't...

Best regards
Artur
