Ok, so normal power up results in running VMMC2 (always-on works),
but voltage is not configured correctly. 2.6V is default according
to the TRM. I think this is a "bug" in the regulator framework. It
should setup the minimum allowed voltage before enabling the
always-on regulator.

In case of the tpa6130a2/tpa6140a2 driver it may also be nice to add
something like this to the driver (Vdd may be between 2.5V and 5.5V
according to both datasheets):

if (regulator_can_change_voltage(data->supply))
regulator_set_voltage(data->supply, 2500000, 5500000);

I had a quick glance at this. I think stock kernel put VMMC2
into sleep mode. Mainline kernel does not expect sleep mode
being set and does not disable it.

I guess that's because the voltage is only configured if at least
one regulator consumer requests anything specific.

So in case of reboot from stock kernel voltage is already configured
to 2.8V, but it does not work, because of the sleep mode.
