I see the same issue. The error is gone when the patch is reverted
again.
PMIC probing is working but the voltage change of SD-Card is probably
not. 
We have set 
dts/upstream/src/arm64/freescale/imx8mp-phycore-fpsc.dtsi:	
vqmmc-supply = <&ldo5>;

which references the PMIC. 
The evk is not using this property.

Removing the property makes the error go away.
Any ideas what is missing here?

Teresa
