There's actually two issues that are pretty orthogonal:
* the fact that the regulator to power the wifi chip needs to be
enabled before it enumerates and the driver is probed. The MMC
pwrseq stuff seems to fix that, even if it doesn't really fit in
the usual DT model.
* The fact that that regulator on this board is actually two
regulators in parallel that needs to be controlled in parallel
too. Here, it will probably require a new regulator driver to
combine two regulators into one.
