NAK.
The driver uses regulator_bulk_enable, which enables all three
regulators simultaneously via async calls, thus your change doesn't
have any effect.

Also note, that these regulators are frequently shared between
different consumers. As such, even if you have tight control of
regulator ordering in the driver, other drivers might enable
corresponding regulators on their own, breaking the ordering.
