The commit e8e9715df2 ("regulator: fixed: Modify enable-active-high behavior")
fixed the regulator driver behavior when 'enable-active-high' is defined.
Unfortunately, this patch used dm_regulator_platdata()'s "boot_on" member
to set GPIOD_IS_OUT_ACTIVE flag and enable the regulator.
The issue here is that regulator_common_ofdata_to_platdata() is called
_before_ regulator_pre_probe() function in which the 'regulator-boot-on'
property is asserted.
As a result the GPIOD_IS_OUT_ACTIVE flag is not set and gpio_request_by_name()
called in the former function is not enabling the regulator.
This is problematic for e.g. i.MX ethernet driver, which then tries to
perform initialization without power (and fails).
The solution here is to explicitly enable regulator in regulator_pre_probe()
callback only when 'regulator-boot-on' property is present in device tree.
The GPIOD_IS_OUT_ACTIVE flag is not set at all, but relevant gpio is
requested.

Regulator should not be enabled at probe time if regulator-boot-on
property is not in the dt node.
"enable-active-high" property is only used to indicate the GPIO
polarity.

In preparation of being able to enable/disable GPIO regulators, the
code that will be shared among the two kinds to regulators is factored
out into its own source files.
