This may indeed fix that separate issue, but looking into pxamci
driver I realize that the card detect configuration suffers from other
issues as well.

1. The irq shouldn't be requested until after the host has been added.
Else an IRQ will call mmc_detect_change() with a non-added mmc host,
which is really a bad idea. :-)
2. The host_ops->get_cd() callback isn't assigned. Thus not allowing
the mmc core to find out whether the card is inserted or not.

So instead of this quick-fix, I suggest that pxamci convert to use the
mmc slot-gpio API, which means calling mmc_gpio[d]_request_cd() from
->probe() and assign the ->get_cd() callback, which use
mmc_gpio_get_cd().

What do you think?

Kind regards
Uffe
