In my particular case, I want to achieve a full reset through regulator (off
and on) because the bootloader left it in initialized state. I assume
that if bootloader did not configure the device, the reset won't be
harmful.

In a MMC case, this pre-power-on on is setting the 'reset' GPIO (thus
triggering the reset) and post-power-on is clearing the 'reset'.

For my purpose it seems sensible.

Ahh yes, I forgot to reorder them. Thanks for spotting this.

Thanks for feedback,
