    ASoC: codecs: wcd9335: Fix missing free of regulator supplies

    Driver gets and enables all regulator supplies in probe path
    (wcd9335_parse_dt() and wcd9335_power_on_reset()), but does not cleanup
    in final error paths and in unbind (missing remove() callback). This
    leads to leaked memory and unbalanced regulator enable count during
    probe errors or unbind.

    Fix this by converting entire code into devm_regulator_bulk_get_enable()
    which also greatly simplifies the code.
