Here's an updated patch which just about fixes the sdhci-dove driver.
I would not be surprised given the idiotic sdhci-pltfm API if many
other drivers suffered the same bug.

Subject: [PATCH] MMC: fix sdhci-dove probe/removal

1. Never ever publish a device in the system before it has been setup
   to a usable state.
2. Unregister the device _BEFORE_ taking away any resources it may be
   using.
3. Don't check clks against NULL.
