I agree rmmod should be handled better. I also think not being able to
return an error from the atomic_[pre_]enable ops seems bad. Both these
aspects are way larger than the scope of this patch however...
So, back to this patch, I've sent a revert patch, trying to summarize
the history we discussed here, and I'd be glad to get your comments and
ACK/NACK on that patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20240306-ti-sn65dsi83-regulator-imbalance-v1-1-a3cea5f3e5b3@bootlin.com/
Thanks for the discussion!
