Ah yes I see ...

 platform regulator@1: probe deferral - wait for supplier tps65911@2d

Yes the device-tree for this board can be found here [0]. Looks like
there is a circular dependency between the vddctrl_reg and vddcore_reg.
This is part of coupled regulators which have a two-way linkage [1]. So
this change appears to conflict with this.
