Well,here it goes!
1. Power ON the board LDO4CTRL1[7:6] 11b
2. dw_mmc driver enable the vqmmc.
3. checks for UHS support, complete the voltage switching t0 1.8V
4. Does warm reset by reboot command.
5. mmc core calls mmc_set_ios() with MMC_POWER_OFF.
6. dw_mmc driver cut-off the regulator with LDO4CTRL1[7:6] is 00b
7.dw_mmc driver enable the vqmmc.
But after step 7 also, LD4CTRL[7:6] is 00b.

static int max77802_enable(struct regulator_dev *rdev)
{
struct max77802_regulator_prv *max77802 = rdev_get_drvdata(rdev);
int id = rdev_get_id(rdev);
int shift = max77802_get_opmode_shift(id);
return regmap_update_bits(rdev->regmap,
rdev->desc->enable_reg,rdev->desc->enable_mask,max77802->opmode[id] <<
shift);
}
I think in the above code snippet, the "val" is what we got it during
the probe.We always write that value for enabling this regulator(which
is LDO4CTRL1[7:6] 00b after warm reset) which is not correct according
the MAX77802 manual.
