However, what would expect the SDIO binding to look like? Or more specifically, how would you distinguish the SPI vs SDIO binding/connection? I'm wondering if the compatible should be something like "ti,wl1251-spi" and than the sdio can be "ti,wl1251-sdio"

reg is not listed as a required prop.

should be vendor prefixed: ti,power-gpio

can you be a bit more specific on what cfg will be loaded. Also, is this property a boolean, if so how do I know which eeprom the cfg is loaded from (is it one that is directly connected to the wl1251?
