OK. I guess that means that it's most likely some timing related issue,
or an issue with some regulator not being ready by the time the MMC
probes. Or it's a bug somewhere that I'm not figuring out.

Looking at the twl-regulator.c, twl4030reg_enable just sets the group
bit and we're not checking any status and don't have startup-delay-us
for them.

At least phy-twl4030-usb.c has twl4030_i2c_write_u8_verify(), I wonder
if adding a read back of the register to twl-regulator.c would help?

Regards,

Tony
