I just had a look into the specific dts 'omap4-sdp.dts'. It defines a
'vdd_eth' at the top of the file, which is a fixed regulator using gpios
with 'regulator-boot-on'. This regulator is also passed to the ks8851
driver as vdd-supply. But this supply is not used in the driver.

The problem may be that the fixed regulator was never enabled/disabled
before my patch. As the network driver does not enable the regulator
manually, it will be disabled by the regulator framework. A
'regulator-always-on' may help here.

Regards,

Markus
