Hi Paul,

Thanks for the patches. Please see my comments below.

LP872x regulators are made active via the EN pin, which might be hooked to a
GPIO. This adds support for driving the GPIO high when the driver is in use.

EN pin is used for enabling HW logic like I2C block. It's not regulator enable pin. Please check the block diagram in the datasheet.

All regulators of LP8720 and LP8725 are controlled through I2C registers. Additionally, LP8725 provides external pin control for LDO3 and BUCK2. In this case, you can use 'regulator_config.ena_gpio' when a regulator is registered.
