Ahh, forgot about the async nature of bulk_enable. Make the code a
little ugly, but it needs to be done like that.

Thinking about it, isn't there a required minimum time between vddio and
the others in the wcn specification?

If you think there's such a case coming up, then it makes sense.
On the flip side, debugging the resulting panic when someone adds a new
compatible without vddio is very minor...

I think this looks good then.
