Oh, this is something that I missed. I'll wait until tomorrow to see
if I can get Ping-Ke's Reviewed-by on patch 1 and then re-send the
whole series with fixed subjects.

This series had four patches from the beginning. So no patches were
added/removed during the lifecycle of this patchset.
I think the cover-letter subject is a bit misleading as it contains
the words "SDIO support". In fact the issues (which are fixed by this
series) were found while working on SDIO support, but they also apply
to existing PCIe/USB support.

Noted. I will take care of this in v3 along with the updated subjects.

Thanks for the motivating words :-)
