Not sure, how I can propagate "call coming from MMC/SD" to both
regulator and pinctrl.
Probably pinctrl would already know, but then it doesn't know the
voltage settings.

Let me spend some time, but atleast at this point I am not sure.

As I said, that was easy fit into existing implementation. :)
f_sdh30 already does something similar.
