Why are these explicitly specified in this binding?

If it's not physically possible to disable the regulator then
specifying this property is redundant so...

...requiring it doesn't seem useful.  All the other
regulator-specific properties shouldn't be required either,
unless the user specifies a voltage range we won't allow changes
at all which should be safe and the name is purely cosmetic.
