Sorry, but no. It's not a regulator.

If you would like to know details, the 2 bits in PMU registers basically
represent clock gate and reset signal per IP which PMU controls.

P.S. Hardware might have a common regulator per power island which is
automatically latches the power down if all devices on the island are on
D3hot. But it's not controlled by software.

So, please consider my initial approach.

This patch holds Edison enabling...
