I realize that the test becomes a bit different, but I don't think it's useless.

If we add a check for MMC_CAP_HW_RESET and verify that the
host->ops->hw_reset exists, then we can assume that the "hw_reset"
sequence has executed. And if mmc_init_card() fails, that would
probably mean that the reset also failed, right?
