Hi Sherry,

Regulators and reset controls being refcounted, we can then implement 
powerup sequence in both bluetooth/wlan drivers and have the drivers 
operate independently. This way bluetooth driver would has no dependance 
on the wlan driver for :

- its power supply

- its reset pin (PDn)

- its firmware (being downloaded as part of the combo firmware)

For the wlan driver we use mmc power sequence to drive the chip reset 
pin and there's another patchset that adds support for reset control 
into the mmc pwrseq simple driver.

Hi Krzysztof,

I'm not familiar with power sequencing, but looks like way more 
complicated than reset controls. So, why power sequencing is recommended 
here ? Is it b/c a supply is involved ?
