Hi,

I have started a patch series for the mmc driver that is currently in
staging, that makes some of the first cleanups (whitespace, indent,..)
and also starts to clean up the code, to make the similarities and
differences to the current mainline code clearer. The series is far
from being complete, but I think I'm going to send it out today, so
you can look and comment.

I would suggest that we continue cleaning the code that is currently
in staging to remove the dead parts and make the diff to the mainline
code obvious. Do you agree with that proposal or do you suggest a
different plan?

Christian
