I confirm, that the above 2 patches fixes boot issue on Samsung Snow
Chromebook with next-20180920.

Yes, I've just tested next-20180920 only with the first patch from this
patchset and the mentioned change to drivers/mmc/core/pwrseq_simple.c.
It boots fine, so indeed the issue is in handling of arrays of gpios.
Just to be sure I did it right, this is my change to the mentioned file:
