5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Erick Henrique <redacted>

commit a130404ce0b69ca1438126bd81c1985d3b4d2e6f upstream.

m62332_set_value() enables the Vcc regulator on every write of a
non-zero value and disables it on every write of zero, without tracking
the channel's current state. Because the regulator is reference counted,
changing a channel directly from one non-zero value to another enables
it more than once, while a later write of zero disables it only once.
The reference count never returns to zero and the regulator is left
enabled indefinitely.

Only enable the regulator on the transition from zero to non-zero, and
only disable it on the transition from non-zero to zero, using the
previously stored channel value to detect the edge. Balance the
regulator on the I2C error path so the reference count stays consistent
if the write fails.
