Right, there also appears to be dependency issues. Its like the
regulator should be pulling in the parent pmic rather than the current
situation where the pmic loads, the mmc subsystem loads, but then
triggers hung task timeouts until the regulator is manually loaded.
Worse, because the pmic isn't being held by the regulator you get this
if the pmic is unloaded.
