This isn't a correct fix.

If we would add the sdi regulator to remove the problem we would need to
add the sdi regulator to all boards, not just EVM.

However, I wouldn't go adding them. The proper fix is to make sdi.c only
use the regulator if SDI is actually used. Currently it tries to acquire
it always.

A simple "fix" for this is to disable SDI from Kconfig, presuming you
don't have boards that use SDI interface. N900 is the only board that I
know of which uses SDI.
