[REGRESSION][BISECTED] wifi broken on pinebook pro

[Jan Palus <jpalus@fastmail.com>]

WiFi no longer works on Pinebook Pro after upgrade to kernel 6.18. It
appears firmware fails to load:

...
mmc_host mmc0: card is non-removable.
mmc_host mmc0: Bus speed (slot 0) = 400000Hz (slot req 400000Hz, actual 400000HZ div = 0)

compared to 6.17 instead of last 4 lines with errors there's single one
with info about loaded firmware:

With this commit reverted on top of 6.18.1 wireless connection works
fine.

Not sure what could be relevant but:
- it's an early model, I think second batch, delivered end of 2019
- mainline uboot 2025.10 is used
