Apparently not - as I needed to make that change before the re-probe would
work.

Looking at the code to remind myself:

#define mmc_slot(host)		(host->pdata->slots[host->slot_id])

so the slot is inside the platform data which is allocated in
omap_hsmmc_init_one, called from omap_hsmmc_init.
This is all prior to the probing of the device.

So no: once set_power is set, it stays set.
