There's a WARN splat occurring before the NULL pointer deref.
Was this happening before or is it new?  Probably makes sense
to debug that first before looking into the NULL pointer deref,
which could be a result of it.

The WARN splat seems to be caused by:

	WARN_ON(rdev->open_count);

So the regulator is unregistered although it's still in use.
Is there maybe a multifunction PCIe device in your system
so that multiple devices are using the same regulator?

Thanks,
