I thought about doing that, but the issue I run into is that I need
four regulators in total, and some way to combine them so that I get
the right sequence.
The sequence currently being done in the board in the FSL v3.0.35
kernel is:
- drive both reset gpio low
- power up wifi/bt via gpio
- power up oscillator via gpio
- wait 2ms
- drive both reset gpios high
- wait 2ms
- detect sdio device

FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: 5.8Mbps down 500kbps up. Estimation
in database were 13.1 to 19Mbit for a good line, about 7.5+ for a bad.
Estimate before purchase was "up to 13.2Mbit".
