The mmc device would fail to come up if the regulators didn't come up,
which would be the result of smd not working. But it should fallback to

Can you double check that CONFIG_RPMSG_QCOM_SMD is still set in your
.config after applying and building with this commit included? And if
not, try to enable CONFIG_MAILBOX.
