DT source yes, DT blob likely no.

I am trying to understand what problem there is on tegra 3, but it is
still not clear to me.
Is the problem somehow related to PMICs (?) being probed in SPL (?)
because they have regulators (?) which are marked as regulator-always-on
? If so, then this is correct behavior, and if this is not desired in
SPL, then you can remove this property from SPL DT in -u-boot.dtsi using
/delete-property/ .
