(CCing linux-mmc)

And it is a mess, really :(

The kernel already has an esdhc-driver (and Anton already worked around a
number of hardware-bugs), but is tied into an of-driver because the core was
also used on PowerPC. There, it utilizes a 32-bit-byte-swaper which is not
needed on ARM. So, one has to rip all that out, generalize the sdhc-platform
support (possibly also abstract the quirk support) and make sure nothing
breaks.

I started and got MMC working, but it is by far not mainline quality (and maybe
bitrotten by now). Check the sdhci-pltfm branch at

http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=wsa/linux-2.6.git;a=summary

You see, there is still some of_* left in the platform-part.

Maybe you can push this a bit further,
