Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: dts: hikey: Give wifi some time after power-on

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@...mens.com>

Somewhere along recent changes to power control of the wl1835, power-on
became very unreliable on the hikey, failing like this:

wl1271_sdio: probe of mmc2:0001:1 failed with error -16
wl1271_sdio: probe of mmc2:0001:2 failed with error -16

After playing with some dt parameters and comparing to other users of
this chip, it turned out we need some power-on delay to make things
stable again. In contrast to those other users which define 200 ms, the
hikey would already be happy with 1 ms. Still, we use the safer 10 ms,
like on the Ultra96.

Changes in v2:
 - set delay to 10 ms
 - updated changelog

Who will take care of updating also the Hikey firmware dts with this
change?
