Hi Romain,

You have to be more clear. What power supply, ie. vmmc or the supply for
the wifi chipset. Without knowing much of the details to me this sounds
like a new powerseq variant.

It feels counter intuitive and maybe even wrong to change a setup
pattern like this. Can you be sure this will not cause any regressions?
