I think you can/should do this with vmmc. When the device gets powered
down (e.g. in runtime suspend), the voltage should be cut, so it
should be possible to use the existing regulator.
I also looked at doing this before, when it looked like we would have
to manipulate a GPIO reset line for SD8686. I decided that the current
vmmc implementation in sdhci wasn't quite complete enough, but it
wouldn't be much effort to correct this.
