is this a clock gate or a power on gpio?

Which way does it toggle for which voltage?

Oh, you said in the change log but not in the binding.

But please, use gpio controled regulators as Ulf suggested and is
already used by other mmc controllers upstream.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/regulator/gpio-regulator.yaml
