Subject: [patch 2.6.28] mmc: warn about voltage mismatches

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Get rid of a silent failure mode when the MMC/SD host doesn't
support the voltages needed to operate a given card, by
adding a warning.  A 3.3V host and a 3.0V card, for example,
no longer need to mysteriously just not work at all.

This isn't the best diagnostic; ideally it would also tell
what voltage the card and host support (and not just by
dumping the bitmasks).
