Yes.  On 3530/Overo.

It's not about finding the second regulator.  As stated in the
changelog, it's about the duplicate attempt to register the exact same
platform_device.

Duplicate attempts to register the exact same platform_device cause
kobject to panic and give up[1].  So, any platform that calls
gpmc_smsc911x_init() twice (Overo and T35 in mainline) will panic on
boot.

This patch fixes those platforms so they can boot.
