No, I don't and that's one of the reasons why I didn't want to touch the
DTS that have the wlcore chip.

The omap3-igep0020-rev-f.dts and omap3-igep0030-rev-g.dts don't have a
startup-delay-us property in the regulator for the WLAN_EN pin as is
the case for the IGEPv5 DTS but I don't know if those DTS are just wrong.

The DTS for the igep0020 and igep0030 that have the libertas chip,
did have a startup-delay-us for the WIFI_PDN but using the GPIOs
for RESET_N_W and WIFI_PDN in the mmc-pwrseq-simple reset-gpios is
enough to make the SDIO chip reset, be enumerated and WiFi to work
correctly so I don't know if that is really needed or is just a bad
description in the DTS.

Since is working for the boards with the libertas chip, I preferred
to remove the DTS hack but left the boards with wlcore chip since
you said the startup-delay-us is needed there (but probably we should
add to the regulators in the boards that don't have it then).
