Could you explain what 'enabled on boot' means ?
1) The regulator_enable() is called in initial time
or
2) boot_on = 1 in regulator_init_data ?

If you mean 'boot_on = 1' in regulator_init_data, then no use_count increase.

It looks buggy code in lm3530_brightness_set().
Even the regulator_disable() is failed, drvdata->enable is set to false.
I think drvdata->enable is changed to false only when the regulator is off successfully.
