I just had a look at the regulator core code. I think the voltage
should be set automatically during regulator_register():

regulator_register()
-> set_machine_constraints()
--> machine_constraints_voltage()
---> _regulator_do_set_voltage()
----> _regulator_call_set_voltage()
-----> ops->set_voltage()

Looks like this currently only works automatically, if DT specifies
min-voltage = max-voltage. Adding this to twl-regulator's probe
function before devm_regulator_register()) should enable the voltage
setting:

init_data->constraints.apply_uV = 1;

I hope Mark can tell us why this only done, when the voltage is fixed.

Stroke that. It should be disabled in probe of course, since
it can be modified later using regulator_set_mode(). Actually
it is already supported by adding this to the omap3-n900.dts:

&vmmc2 {
    regulator-initial-mode = <2>;
};

Ivo, Can you try if this fixes your problems with tpa6130a2 after
rebooting from Nokia kernel?
