[adding arm@...nel.org for more input]
Guennadi,
  While I can't see card-detect coming in through i2c gpio controller, I 
think that moving this out of the sleeping context (and into mmc_rescan) 
is probably the better solution anyways. So I'll drop this patch and 
send another one with that change instead.


  Thanks,
    csd
