The correct approach is probably to enhance the SDIO controller (or SDIO
core) to know how to power/reset/... the device that's attached to it.
For WiFi, this probably also includes turning on a clock to the
conencted device too. Hopefully this is all common enough that the same
set of signals/sequencing/... works for all connected devices, so we
don't have to do custom stuff on different boards.
