I see the problem.

The patches from the patch serie "Clarify code paths for how to modify 
the power register" are independent from this "SDIO serie". Although the 
patches has been based upon the patches from the SDIO serie, which is as 
you say the reason to why they not apply cleanly.

I will upload a second version of the serie "Clarify code paths for how 
to modify the power register" which is NOT based on the "SDIO serie". 
Then when can discuss each serie separately.

Your observation is correct, but at the same time do we really need to 
have such a dependency check in the code? The hardware setup is handled 
in the variant struct completely, so we believe that should be enough.
