Hmmm.. well, that is actually arguable. Take from driver perspective. If
a regulator is required for a device to work you have to make it a
requirement and not rely on whatever state the system has booted.

From previous discussions, I understood on of your chip versions
actually require a regulator to be activated in order to get the sensors
properly working. Is this understanding correct?
