I thought that switching the defconfig wasn't possible, since this HW
module relies on the SoC core clock, and that can be asynchronously
changed by the FW running on the VideoCore. Consequently, this change
isn't safe unless the user puts non-default options in their config.txt.
The same comment applies to "[PATCH 1/4] ARM: bcm2835: Switch BCM2835 to
sdhci-iproc.c for MMC" in the other series.
