In sy7636a_sensor_probe(), regulator_enable() is called but if
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() fails, the function returns
without calling regulator_disable(), leaving the regulator enabled
and leaking the reference count.

Switch to devm_regulator_get_enable() to automatically
manage the regulator resource.

Changes in v2:
  -Use devm_regulator_get_enable() instead as suggested by Guenter
  Roeck.
