Adding a few folks to cc from the thread here:

As this sounds like a very similar issue.

Somewhere along recent changes to power control of the wl1835, power-on
became very unreliable on the hikey, failing like this:

wl1271_sdio: probe of mmc2:0001:1 failed with error -16
wl1271_sdio: probe of mmc2:0001:2 failed with error -16

After playing with some dt parameters and comparing to other users of
this chip, it turned out we need some power-on delay to make things
stable again. In contrast to those other users which define 200 ms, the
hikey is already very happy with 1 ms.
According to the discussions we had so far, this doesn't sound like
the correct solution.

I am intending to post patch soon, however, I am not sure exactly what
solution to pick yet. I will keep you on cc - and of course I
appreciate if you could help to test.
FWIW, the Ultra96 is also affected. Here I worked around it by using a 10 ms
power-on delay. The original workaround from the other thread did not help.
Looking forward to the proper fix now!
Any news on this regression?
I will post a (or two) patch during the day.

Kind regards
Uffe
