Maybe, but Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc.txt
mandates that you specify this width anyway I think, it's
stated as "requiered".

The bindings should be useable also for systems which does not
have pinctrl.

Do you mean several states?

Isn't the card detection and write protect GPIO lines that
will be requested with gpio_request()? This is usually the case,
so I need to ask. GPIOs are usually muxed in on a per-pin basis
as a result of the gpio_request() call.

I don't know how your setup works but we have something like
this for an external SD card:

NB: I use these macros to shorten the lines, it's just simple hogs
on our primary pin controller:

#define DB8500_MUX(group,func,dev) \
        PIN_MAP_MUX_GROUP_DEFAULT(dev, "pinctrl-db8500", group, func)
#define DB8500_PIN(pin,conf,dev) \
        PIN_MAP_CONFIGS_PIN_DEFAULT(dev, "pinctrl-db8500", pin, conf)

/* Mux in SDI0 (here called MC0) used for removable MMC/SD/SDIO cards */
DB8500_MUX("mc0_a_1", "mc0", "sdi0"),
DB8500_PIN("GPIO18_AC2", out_hi, "sdi0"), /* CMDDIR */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO19_AC1", out_hi, "sdi0"), /* DAT0DIR */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO20_AB4", out_hi, "sdi0"), /* DAT2DIR */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO22_AA3", in_nopull, "sdi0"), /* FBCLK */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO23_AA4", out_lo, "sdi0"), /* CLK */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO24_AB2", in_pu, "sdi0"), /* CMD */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO25_Y4", in_pu, "sdi0"), /* DAT0 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO26_Y2", in_pu, "sdi0"), /* DAT1 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO27_AA2", in_pu, "sdi0"), /* DAT2 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO28_AA1", in_pu, "sdi0"), /* DAT3 */

When "default" is selected, the group mc0_a_1 is muxed in
on function mc0, and the 10 pins are configured.(out_hi etc
are lists of configuration values).

We coul name this state "4bitsd" or so, and have another state
called "8bitemmc". Nothing stops you from also configuring pull-ups
on GPIO pins etc in this table.

We have several ports, here is an eMMC:

/* Mux in SDI2 (here called MC2) used for for PoP eMMC */
DB8500_MUX("mc2_a_1", "mc2", "sdi2"),
DB8500_PIN("GPIO128_A5", out_lo, "sdi2"), /* CLK */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO129_B4", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* CMD */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO130_C8", in_nopull, "sdi2"), /* FBCLK */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO131_A12", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* DAT0 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO132_C10", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* DAT1 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO133_B10", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* DAT2 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO134_B9", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* DAT3 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO135_A9", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* DAT4 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO136_C7", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* DAT5 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO137_A7", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* DAT6 */
DB8500_PIN("GPIO138_C5", in_pu, "sdi2"), /* DAT7 */

Isn't you board similarly hard-coded from the platform or
device tree? It seems less kludgy to ask DT or platform data
about the bus width if that is all.
