Because the idea is to get rid of board callbacks and rely on proper kernel 
abstraction layers such as the GPIO subsystem. This will be especially 
important when adding device tree support to the mmc_spi driver.

mmc_gpio_get_ro() will indeed return -ENOSYS when the MMC_SPI_USE_RO_GPIO flag 
isn't set, as the mmc_spi driver will not call mmc_gpio_request_ro() in that 
case.

This patch hides the -ENOSYS value from the mmc_spi_get_ro() and 
mmc_spi_get_cd() functions, perhaps making them slightly confusing, but patch 
06/12 then gets rid of those functions, so I don't think it's a bit issue.
