This also appears to be causing a regression on the Tegra124 Jetson TK1
that also uses a shared GPIO for two regulators. The 2nd regulator that
uses the GPIO now fails to probe [0] ...

[ 0.680021] +5V_SATA: supplied by +5V_SYS
[ 0.683964] reg-fixed-voltage: probe of regulators:regulator@14 failed with error -16

Not sure if you have one of these, but otherwise I can help test.

Cheers
Jon
