mmc_gpiod_request_cd can return without ever reaching the line where 
the value is assigned to gpio_invert:

desc = devm_gpiod_get_index(host->parent, con_id, idx, GPIOD_IN);
if (IS_ERR(desc))
	return PTR_ERR(desc);

This can happen when the host controller doesn't use a GPIO for card 
detection (but instead uses a dedicated pin). In this case 
devm_gpiod_get_index will return -ENOENT.

Same thing, the function can return before gpio_invert is ever assigned 
to.

Since both flags are set wrong for the exact same reason, and they're 
both regressions in 3.18, I thought it would make sense to fix them 
both in one patch. (Especially since I think it's cleaner to split the 
gpio_invert variable into cd_gpio_invert and ro_gpio_invert, and I was 
going to do that in the patch I'd send.) Let me know if you still think 
I should send separate patches for them.

Thanks for the review,
