Sweet! With 4 PB2's and 2 BeaglePlays... Power on, boot, Power off,
wait 30 seconds.. (repeat 10 times)

Before:
36/60: Bootup to File System

After
60/60: Bootup to File System

Tested-by: Robert Nelson <robertcnelson@xxxxxxxxx>

SInce i applied directly to rc2, here's my fixup of your patch for
reference: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/arm64-multiplatform/blob/v6.16.x-arm64-k3/patches/fixes/0001-regulator-tps65219-Fix-devm_kmalloc-size-allocation.patch

For TI, we also need to cherry pick this in v6.12.x-ti, to fix
BeaglePlay and PB2..

Thanks Everyone!
