Thanks a lot for working on that, I've made a similar attempt a few
weeks ago but didn't manage to get it to work.

The way it's hooked in our boards is a bit more complex though, even
if it could be because we're using a different part.

In order to get it running we need:
  - two clocks, called in the broadcom datasheets lpo and tcxo.
  - three GPIOs, device wakeup, host wakeup and a shutdown GPIO (which
    might be the BT_ON you were discussing about)
  - two regulators called vbat and reg-en for us (I guess they're
    meant to power the chip, and its registers)

Do you know if you're also using those? Or could it be that it's just
hardwired to some non-gatable crystal / regulator on the RPI?

Thanks!
Maxime
