Ok. If there is anything missing in the pwrseq implementation or
binding at the moment, you'll have to work with Ulf to get it to
drive your hardware then.

I don't yet understand what it means to control them in parallel.
Do you mean the hardware uses two outputs to support a higher
current than you could do with one?

How critical is the timing? Would it be enough if the mmc
code knew how to set more than one regulator and do them
one at a time?
