which btw: contains this interesting snippet (output from fdtdump)
bd71828-i2c@4b {
reg = <0x0000004b>;
compatible = "rohm,bd71828";
gpio_int = <0x00000008 0x00000013 0x00000001>;
gpio_wdogb = <0x00000039 0x00000018 0x00000001>;
#address-cells = <0x00000001>;
#size-cells = <0x00000000>;
pmic@4b {
compatible = "rohm,bd71828";
regulators {
BUCK1 {
regulator-name = "buck1";

and to make it work since basically no regulators are registered
instead just some regmap_write()s are done to configure something
in probe(). It is a pitfall to think that the information below pmic@4b
is used, especially since it is not that obvious in the source.

well, so just check in bootloader what the reset reason is and check if
there is anything odd.

regmap involves mutex_lock() and we are not allowed to sleep here.

so maybe something to prevent power on by just plugging a usb cable? Will
experiment a bit with it.

I will to so. That will also remove the need for all those delays.

oh, yes, that is not correct.
