Actually, what I didn't want was a _sdhci_ quirk. I'm fine with a PCI one. In fact,
that's probably the best approach as that register fiddling hides some
PCI devices, so it's best if it is done before enumeration.

(Side note: sdhci has now undergone the architectural change that would
allow a quirk like this, but the PCI version is probably still best)
