I see. Thanks for looking at this mess!

In general, as long as we improve the code, I am happy to move forward.

However, my main concern at this point, is to make sure we get the DT
bindings and the DTS files updated correctly. We don't want to come
back to this again.

Okay!

The reason why I brought this up, was because there are sometimes
cases where an SDIO card is shared between more than one SDIO func.
WiFi+Bluetooth for example, but if I am correct, that is not the case
for wl1251?

That said, I am happy to continue with your approach.

I agree.

Just add a note that we should move this DT parsing of the subnode to
the mmc core, but that we are leaving that as a future improvement.
That's good enough. Then I can have a look as a second step, and when
I get some time, to move this to the mmc core.

However, there is one thing I would like you to add to the series. That is:

In the struct omap_hsmmc_platform_data, there is an ->init_card()
callback. Beyond the changes of this series, there is no longer any
users of that, unless I am mistaken. Going forward, let's make sure it
doesn't get used again, so can you please remove it!?

Kind regards
