It is. I am only wondering the best way to describe the hardware:
- No regulator but I have the 'no vqmmc regulator not found' message which
  is a bit annoying and which can be interpreted as an issue for someone
  who has no knowledge about this stuff.
- Describe the regulator since there is one on my board. But it is not a
  fixed regulator and even if it's close to a gpio one it is not.
