So I didn't go through the code in detail, but this doesn't look correct
to me.

Where is the regulator disabled which now gets enabled in probe?

imxfb_lcd_set_power() handles the regulator enable/disable, so doesn't
this mean the regulator would always be enabled? You first enable it in
probe, then imxfb_lcd_set_power() enables it at some point (?), so the
enable-count is two then.

To be honest, I've never used 'struct lcd_ops', but I think the enabling
of the regulator should happen somehow via that. If the regulator needs
to be enabled at probe time, then the probe should somehow cause
lcd_ops->set_power to get called.

Why does the regulator need to be enabled at probe? Or are you saying
imxfb_lcd_set_power() is never called in your case?
