/sys/kernel/debug/regulator/regulator_summary shows 2850mV for V28_A, so
I would remove the quotes. Also, always-on is because if V28_A regulator
is turned off, there is a leakage through tlv320aic34 VIO. BTW one of
the things I did while trying to find the problem, was to remove that
always-on property from the DTS - it didn't help.

and add DT property for that voltage range, as max output power and
harmonics depend on the supply voltage.

Well, one would think that kernel should not have expectations on what
would be the state of the hardware by the time it takes control over it,
but setup everything needed instead.

But then the board DTS is simply ignored. Doesn't look good :)

Yeah, that sleep is pretty clear, I was rather asking - "any idea how to
fix that?". Or it is someone else expected to fix it?
