The Wi-Fi module of Pine64 is powered via DLDO4 and ELDO1 (the latter
one provides I/O voltage).

Add device node for it.

Although the Wi-Fi module is an external module which should be
inserted
quoted
to a header, according to my personal talk with TL Lim, he does not
want
quoted
this header to be used as GPIO (so it's with 2.0mm pitch, not 2.54mm
as
quoted
other GPIO headers).
The patch looks OK, but given the module is removable, I think it
should be
an overlay. The overlay would enable WiFi + Bluetooth, and all the
peripherals needed to connect them.

That way, if the module is not installed, we avoid confusing the user
with
unused peripherals, and avoid having live voltage on an unoccupied
header.
But as this header have specific usage, we will also confuse user
if it's not enabled as its target usage.
