So no datasheet? Then you are on your own.

I asked about this device here.

You speak now about W155s2 but everywhere else you were using "WCN".
What is that WCN?

It is the first time you mention pwrseq device from above paragraph.
Nothing above describes pwrseq.

Stop describing your problem, we all know it exactly if you follow the
discussions about power sequencing. Instead describe this particular
device you add binding for. What is this pwrseq in hardware? How does it
look? Where is it located? What are its pins? What are its supplies?

? No clue what does this mean.

Again, you do not describe the device for the binding but something
else. Something for your drivers, sorry. No.

If you disagree, respond accurately to all questions above, not to only
some of them...
