No.

yup, it makes the power control more complicated than before. :(

We don't invert the power controlling but our customers do.
The HW componet looks like some discrete LDOs which enable the related
power supply when outputing low voltage from pwren..

I have a solution which is to add gpio power control for slot-gpio of
mmc core. once finished, we could add pwr_cap_invert just like what we
did for cd/wp invert control..

Then we could remove PWREN from the default state of
pinctrl inside the sdmmc dt node, and let dwmmc request gpio power
control stuff after paring the property for pwr_cap_invert..

More over, it well fit for all mmc host's requirement of gpio
power control and inverted control if they want it. :)


That should be legit for us?
If it sounds ok to you and Ulf, I will come up with a RFC one for
community to comment it.:)
