In my view this is a regression and it should be fixed with as simple a
patch as possible.  The alternative to my solution is to revert the
patch that removed the enable/disable from the ti-st driver *and* fix
u-boot, because if it doesn't mux the UART2 pins properly (and it
doesn't) the shared transport still won't work.

It's a regression fix, not a new feature.  I also think these callbacks
are silly, but it's the quickest solution I found for 3.7 and 3.8.

To tell you the truth, I haven't even started looking into DT for wl12xx
myself.  So I have no idea when it will be ready.  Benoit has been
looking into it, but I don't know how far he is.
