From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

With the recent rework of the PCI power control code, the workaround for
the wlan-enable GPIO - where we don't set a default (low) state in the
power sequencing driver, but instead request the pin as-is - should no
longer be needed but some platforms still fail to probe the WLAN
controller. This is caused by the Qcom PCIe controller and needs a
workaround in the controller driver so add a FIXME to eventually remove
the hack from this driver once this is done.

Changes in v2:
- reword the FIXME comment as advised by Manivannan
