Fair enough.
Now, what am I supposed to do to the fix the problem. Will try to
explain it in more details:
On Nokia N900 regulators are left in the mode last set by the bootloader
or by the stock kernel, depends on whether it is power-on or reboot from
stock kernel to mainline. That leads to problem with devices connected
to vmmc2 regulator - when the device is rebooted from stock kernel vmmc2
is left in "sleep" mode (REGULATOR_STATUS_STANDBY in terms of regulator
framework) and as noone in mainline kernel switches vmmc2 regulator to
normal (REGULATOR_STATUS_NORMAL) mode, devices supplied by it does not
get enough power to operate normally.
