Unfortunately, no. This is a required power up sequence for some
hardware revisions of the 1271 chip.

Unlike omap_hsmmc, davinci's MMC host driver does not toggle any
regulators. To keep things simple, a set_power callback function was
added to the mmc host as part of this patch series.
I've considered adding regulator support instead, but found it to be
a bit over-complicated for this task. In addition, it would require
either modifying the fixed regulator or adding a new one in order to
support the above power sequence.

Thanks for your review,
Ido.
