We have this regulator definition in omap3-n900.dts:
&vmmc2 {
regulator-name = "V28_A";
regulator-min-microvolt = <2800000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <3000000>;
regulator-always-on; /* due VIO leak to AIC34 VDDs */
};
The regulator is enabled during probe, but the voltage is not
configured. The default reset voltage of the regulator is 2.6V.
So basically when the regulator is enabled, it uses a voltage,
which is out of the DT specified range.
We also have a second problem: If the system has been rebooted from
Nokia's stock kernel the regulator is left in STANDBY mode. Since
the mode is not configured during probe, it results in different
problems. According to my understanding it can be fixed trivially
by adding
&vmmc2 {
regulator-initial-mode = <2>;
};
