Depending on the version of the bootloader, the sdio/mmc2 was not correctly set
up and raised a hung task warning.

This one has been fixed with the commit:

commit 0fbdf9953b41c28845fe8d05007ff09634ee3000
Author: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@...aro.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 16 15:03:24 2017 +0100

    arm64: dts: hi6220: Reset the mmc hosts
    
    The MMC hosts could be left in an unconsistent or uninitialized state from
    the firmware. Instead of assuming, the firmware did the right things, let's
    reset the host controllers.
    
    This change fixes a bug when the mmc2/sdio is initialized leading to a hung
    task:

For the story, this mmc/sdio is for the WiFi and this one was working for some
version of the bootloader which initialized the clock and set the enable line
for the chip. That is bad because the WiFi is working as a side effect from the
boot loader.

In order to properly make support for the WiFi in the kernel, we need to sort
out this by:

 - Reset the mmc
 - Implement the clock at the pmic level
 - Add the mfd clock cell
 - Add the DT definition

The three first patches are merged, the first commit is described above, then we have:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

commit ac03fec1d7d889192cce35edac6fef6026a4d6a1
Author: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@...aro.org>
Date:   Fri Mar 17 08:58:50 2017 +0100

    mfd: hi655x: Add the clock cell to provide WiFi and Bluetooth
    
    The hi655x is a PMIC with regulator but also provides a clock for the WiFi
    and the bluetooth which is missing in the current implementation.
    
    Add the clock cell so it can be used in the next patch via the dts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

commit b68adc23bc3d0c81a08b69cf1ba0bf0405c9d868
Author: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@...aro.org>
Date:   Mon Apr 17 19:19:25 2017 +0200

    clk: hi6220: Add the hi655x's pmic clock
    
    The hi655x multi function device is a PMIC providing regulators.
    
    The PMIC also provides a clock for the WiFi and the Bluetooth, let's implement
    this clock in order to add it in the hi655x MFD and allow proper wireless
    initialization.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

The fourth patch was missed somehow and Ulf recaugth it in its series.

Why?

The wl18xx documentation tells if the enable line is set *before* the clock,
that may damage the chip. By taking the series, we make sure the patches are in
the right order (clock followed by the enable line with a delay in between as
specified in the documentation).

That said, I don't have a strong opinion on which version this series should
go. The latest wl18xx driver version needs an update of the firmware, I'm not
sure it is a good a idea to enable the WiFi in -rc as every hi6220 users will
have to upgrade their firmware, on the other side it is not really a big deal.
