Hi All,

Just a gentle ping on the patch below.
This change is intended as a follow-up cleanup on top of Matthew’s
card_busy() patch, which has already been merged. I wanted to check
whether this additional adjustment to the voltage-switch path looks OK,
or if there are any comments or concerns from the maintainers.

We’re happy to rework or rebase the patch as needed.

> In our testing, removing these two helpers and keeping only the minimal
> clock-control handling (forcing the SD clock to stop before switching and
> cleaning up on error) works correctly and still conforms to the expected SD
> voltage switch behavior. The core-level checks via card_busy() now cover the
> DAT line verification that was previously duplicated in the driver.
