Provide a report with a little more detail on the problem:

   http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

It's possible the patch I posted yesterday which fixes a deadlock in
error handling paths might help, though given that all we're doing is
changing the error code here I'd say regulator support on your your
board was broken anyway.  Given the lack of any detail in your report
I'm just guessing completely in the dark here.
