I think the problem is/was with the number of voltage domains being 
reported which was way too big and passed directly, without any clamping 
to devm_kcalloc() resulting the splat indicating that the allocation was 
beyond the MAX_ORDER. The specification allows for up to 2^16 domains 
which would still be way too much to allocate using kmalloc() so we 
could/should consider vmalloc() here eventually?

In all likelihood though we probably won't find a system with 65k 
voltage domains.

Sure, nothing weird coming out and it succeeded in enumerating all of 
the regulators, I smell a transient issue with our firmware 
implementation, maybe...
