Could you show the code?
On magician I'm just powering up uda1380 when the driver is loaded,
but I wouldn't mind saving some power :)
There are two GPIOs involved - one connected to the uda1380's RESET
line and one to control the power.
The last one doesn't have anything to do with uda1380, really. It's an
external power switch in a PMIC (or CPLD, on magican) so it would be
nice if this code could live in the machine specific drivers.
