I'm only nitpicking here, but I think that logic is a little inverted.
By saying which cards cannot be used (as opposed to which cards can be
used), we get conditionals like this,

Whilst reviewing this patch it took my brain a few too many seconds to
parse that as "if the host is capable of SDIO or SD".

And by saying what capabilities a host supports, when we add new
capabilities we don't have to modify existing code to say that it
doesn't support the new capability.
