The first patch of this series adapting sdio_device_id is technically
mmc material. However to demonstrate the upside of this patch you also
have to look at at least one of bluetooth and wifi. So even if I drop
one of those there are still two subsystems involved. And then in my
subjective view it doesn't matter much if I involve two or three
subsystems. Regarding test automations I would assume that if the
bluetooth bot sees patches #1-#4 of this series it can do something
already (involving either testing the series only partially or finding
all 6 patches on lore). And then this isn't worse than just sending the
first four patches of the series and delaying wifi until later.

But I agree that's a trade-off.

Having said that, I'm happy if the first patch is merged and patches #2
to #6 are discarded by the bluetooth and wifi people. I'll come back to
them once the first patch is in a release.

To make this more explicit: That would be Ulf as MMC maintainer.

Best regards
Uwe
