The sdmmc variant is slightly different on pwr_ctrl field
of MMCIPOWER register.

In classic mmci we have 3 or 2 values:
MMCI_PWR_OFF(0x0), MMCI_PWR_UP(0x2)optional, MMCI_PWR_ON(0x3)
-When you switch the external power supply off, the software set
  power-off (0x0).

-When you switch the external power supply on, the software first enters
  the power-up(0x2) phase, and waits until the supply output is stable
  before moving to the power-on (0x3)phase.

On sdmmc we have 3 values:
MMCI_PWR_OFF(0x0), MCI_STM32_PWR_CYC(0x2), MMCI_PWR_ON(0x3)
-When you switch the external power supply off, the software must
  MCI_STM32_PWR_CYC(0x2) => This will make that the SDMMC_D[7:0],
  SDMMC_CMD and SDMMC_CK are driven low, to prevent the card from being
  supplied through the signal lines.

-When you switch the external power supply on, when supply output is
  stable the MMCI_PWR_OFF(0x0) state can be apply (minimum 1ms) => The
  SDMMC_D[7:0], SDMMC_CMD and SDMMC_CK are set to drive “1”. After
  MMCI_PWR_ON(0x3) stat could be set.

In fact the last value of power off sequence is different between
classic and sdmmc:
The classic mmci finish the power off sequence by 0x0, But the sdmmc
finish by 0x2, and we must write 0x0 in power on sequence before set
MMCI_PWR_ON.
The 0x0 value is not written due to kzalloc value of pwr_reg
(which not reflect hardware value of pwr register).

I understand your hesitation.
If you prefer, I can move the pwr_reg initialisation
in sdmmc_variant_init ?
