There should not be any reason to get a PMIC activated
early on. The system should be booting already at that point,
and the PMIC related init can be done later on.

You can probably do it as a fix early on during the -rc
cycle too. Of course it needs to be verified to work first :)

At least for omaps we have things working just fine with
pinctrl-single and a PMIC on I2C controller.
