This is a minor nit but maybe this should be POWER_SEQUENCING_TH1520_GPU?

I often grep for TH1520 to make sure I have all the options enabled and
it took me a second to realize it was 'THEAD' instead of 'TH1520'.

In retrospect, I probably should have have used CONFIG_DWMAC_TH1520 for
the ethernet driver instead of CONFIG_DWMAC_THEAD.

Thanks,
