Provide a fixed regulator or something, perhaps we need a "definitely does not exist" regulator to help with this. For every board you help with a sequencing bodge you're probably going to break another that needs different sequencing; for that matter it's not like GPIO controlled regulators are exclusively used for MMC, or that MMC exclusively uses GPIO - doing this for only one regulator is a bit of a red flag.
