As Stephen points out, the PMIC/vreg settings aren't needed to boot an upstream kernel, so I'm dropping this patch.
Thanks

Which kernel? The upstream kernel has been booting on Dalmore without issue for quite a long time, without this patch.
If some other kernel needs some voltage rails to be enabled in order to use certain hardware, it must be modified to enable them itself. We should not hack around kernel deficiencies in the bootloader. A kernel should be able to boot without any bootloader at all.
