Main diff is that regulators_enable_boot_on covers all regulators,
including fixed/gpio/pwm regulators, not just regulators that are
children of a pmic. Meaning platforms/boards would still need to somehow
autoset non-pmic regulators.

Maybe regulators_enable_boot_on could be called from the default
power_init_board or similar, when a Kconfig is enabled, to cover more
platforms/boards.
