+* The simple MMC power sequence provider
+
+The purpose of the simple MMC power sequence provider is to supports a set of
+common properties between various SOC designs. It thus enables us to use the
+same provider for several SOC designs.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : contains "mmc-pwrseq-simple".
+
+Optional properties:
+- reset-gpios : contains a GPIO specifier. The reset GPIO is asserted at
+	initialization and prior we start the power up procedure of the card. It
+	will be de-asserted right after the power has been provided to the card.
+
+Example:
+
+	sdhci0_pwrseq {
+		compatible = "mmc-pwrseq-simple";
+		reset-gpios = <&gpio1 12 0>;
+	}

+MMC power sequences:
+--------------------
+
+System on chip designs may specify a specific MMC power sequence. To
+successfully detect an (e)MMC/SD/SDIO card, that power sequence must be
+maintained while initializing the card.
+
+Optional property:
+- mmc-pwrseq: phandle to the MMC power sequence node. See "mmc-pwrseq-*"
