Hi,

I believe the interrupts and drive-strength properties are Ok.
However, letting the platform driver power up the wifi chip does
not guarantee proper ordering, does it? I mean, what if the MMC
bus was probed before the (non-removable) chip was switched on?

Being able to tie that to the mmc controller would be better IMO.
I think this was discussed in Olof's "mmc: add support for
power-on sequencing through DT" thread.


Thanks!
