Unfortunately, there is still some lingering problem in the original
commit. In next-20130623 (and indeed since at least next-20140611),
neither the LCD panel or HDMI work on the NVIDIA Dalmore board.
Reverting this commit (just for conflicts) and the original problematic
commit "regulator: palmas: Reemove open coded functions with helper
functions" solves this. I see the following on boot:

... but probe deferral never completes, yet with your "remove open coded
..." patch reverted, it all works fine.

Can you please take another look at the original patch?
