Hmm, well the thing is there's two separate always_on flags, the one in 
constraints (if you have any constraints) and the one in struct 
regulator. I could munge the always_on status printed in the constraints 
debugfs to be (regulator.always_on || constraints.always_on) though I'm 
not sure if that's helpful (it shows actual state) or confusing (it 
might not match what was fed in as constraints).

Sorry, that was lazy copy-and-paste. I'll fix it.
