Until now it was possible to use qcom,ath11k-calibration-variant DT
property with M.2 devices. If your patch is applied that's not possible
anymore.

I don't care about QCA6390 as it's not really used anywhere anymore. I
picked up 71839a929d9e, even though I considered it to be wrong, so that
your pwrseq subsystem is not delayed. But WCN6855 is a different matter
as it's more widely used.

Like I have said, I'm happy to take the patch if the supplies are
optional. Why can't we do that?
