Ok, can do. How about something like:

	/*
	 * Some cards need separate power/reset/clock control from the main
	 * MMC/SDIO bus. Parse the description of those controls so we can
	 * power on the card before the host controller.
	 */

I have to admit that I don't know MMC as well as I could, but OCR seems to be
something that's between the driver/controller/device, not related to external
power control in this case?

Hm, I had been of the impression that the vmmc stuff is to control
power/voltage on the signal lines, not for external card power. Still, even in
that case there's need for the reset line handling and clock control.

I'll take a look and see if there's a way to handle that in a properly
sequenced way and still use the same regulator.
