So, I have put together a debug patch, mostly to verify that things
seems to be correct in regards to runtime PM. It should produce some
prints to the log, particular during power on/off of the SDIO card and
during probe of the wifi driver. Please re-run the test on top of the
v2 version of the $subject patch.

Kind regards
Uffe
