This doesn't work as it would mean violation of the specs in some
scenarios. Particular during the card initialization and card power
off.

Ditto. Etc...

> h0->set_ios()   // h0 settings save
> h1->set_ios()   // h1 settings save
> ------ slot switch to h0 ------
> h0->request()   // apply settings for h0 and do request
> ------ slot switch to h1 ------
> h1->request()   // apply settings for h1 and do request
> ------ slot switch to h0 ------
> h0->request()   // do request (no new settings to apply)
> h0->request()   // do request (no new settings to apply)
> h0->request()   // do request (no new settings to apply)
