Same issue; Simple work-around did it for me: (1) supply +3.3V power the nRF24L01 from a digital pin, using a forward bias diode/LED (with Vf in range 1.7-2.3V) to reduce voltage to compliant range (2.7-3.3V), then (2) in setup say, switch the pin to OUT/HIGH

pinMode(NRFPIN, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(NRFPIN, HIGH);

Notes: -If you have 3.3V device then you can skip voltage reduction in (2) -nRF24L01 power consumption peaks at 13mA (quiescent is miniscule) so well within spec for output pin -Of course you can do (1) with a voltage divider, or a level converter chip, etc, but the appeal of the LED (I checked Vf across 100 ohm @5V to find a decent match) is that you it is simple, passive and in-line and has the nice added advantage of a faint flash when transmitting or receiving!
