What naming is required for the GPIOs?  GPIOs are referred to by number
in Linux.

Ah, your comment about the sequencer is clearer now.  This is not
enabling the write sequencer, that'll be done transiently when required
if it's not set here.  It's enabling a clock which is used by several
parts of the chip including the write sequencer all the time so that the
mic detection can function in the absence of any other software managing
it.  This is why it's conditional on microphone detection being
configured, other functions can have this clock disabled most of the
time.
