No, as explained in my previous mail the idmac being shared seemed to be the
only 2 things the dw-mmc controller and the sunxi-mmc controller have in common.

Looking at dw_mmc-exynos.c it still pretty much is the classic dw-mmc controller
with some extra bits, where as the sunxi controller is significantly different
(which allows us to write a significant simpler driver).

Hans
