You can avoid the mutex and simplify the code by relying on the fact
that the only possible transitions are:

   OFF <-> STANDBY <-> PREPARE <-> ON

which would look a lot more natural - you shouldn't need to remember if
the regulator is enabled, you should just turn it on in the STANDBY to
PREPARE transition and turn it off in the ON to PREPARE or PREPARE to
STANDBY transitions.
