Personally I think your v2 was better, and if I'm interpreting
Pierre's comments correctly I think his main point is that instead of
using the 'stock' probe/remove hooks for the spi mmc driver, the
driver should be mildly reworked to provide a common block of code
that can be used by both the OF and non-OF versions of the
probe/remove routines.  I also think that is the way to go.

Cheers,
