You're right, this isn't really relevant for this series since AM35x
doesn't have VP, and hence shouldn't even be calling omap_vp_init().

However, this does fix a bug on devices that do have VP where the VP is
initialized before PMIC info has been registered.

So, I'll queue this patch as a fix for the voltage layer, but it should
not have been included in the AM35x series.
