"needed for correct power control" suggests that this fixes an
existing problem, and I assume everybody with this kind of device
wants this, and they will see some benefit from enabling it. But it's
not clear what that user-visible benefit is. Could be useful both
here and in commit log.

Seems like it'd be nice to have a hint about the units of
gpio_enable_delay (apparently ms) and last_gpio_enable (apparently
jiffies)? Maybe even use the same units for both, but I'm sure you
have a reason for this.
