Hi, I tried this bisect style technique to move lvs regulators up in
the list gradually and I found that they need to be enabled atleast
before ldo12 and the ldo regulators which follow the ldo12 in the
list.

I tried this approach as well earlier today but I don't know how big
"the big" delay can be. The device fails to boot if I add a settling
time of as much as 2sec per each ldo and lvs regulator too. I didn't
try increasing the delay further.
