PATCH v2 1/1 power: sequencing: qcom-wcn: explain why we need the WLAN_EN GPIO hack

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <[email protected]>

With the recent rework of the PCI power control code, the workaround for the wlan-enable GPIO - where we don't set a default (low) state in the power sequencing driver, but instead request the pin as-is - should no longer be needed but some platforms still fail to probe the WLAN controller. This is caused by the Qcom PCIe controller and needs a workaround in the controller driver so add a FIXME to eventually remove the hack from this driver once this is done.

Changes in v2:
- reword the FIXME comment as advised by Manivannan
