It could also be a property in the mmc-host that references a gpio
and/or clock for the simple sequences. For the complex sequence it could
similarly reference to a power-seq node somewhere else in the DT. There
may not be a functional difference. It just indicates that the power
sequence is not part of the mmc host, but an optional resource needed
for bus operation, ie. make sdio device discoverable.
