So for the change itself this looks good, i.e. it fixes an issue for baords relying
on the on-chip-card-detect.


But for boards doing that, the controller will be running _all the time_
even if there is never any card inserted.

So relying on the on-soc card-detect will effectively increase the power-
consumption of the board - even it it'll never use any sd-card?

It would be nice to add a comment here about the fact that this will
disable power-management for the controller.

Also shouldn't non-removable already work, making the case above not
necessary?


Thanks
