I wrote earlier imaginary system where RPM driver loads the regulators
from the end. It would require re-shuffling to previous order of the
nodes. Feel free to change the RPM drivers to simulate it and you should
see that your patch stops helping.

The problem looks like in missing consumers, missing probe dependencies
or something in the driver how it handles these.

DTS should not be used for solving OS related problems.
