Ulf did eventually write a new way to deal with this and then Quentin
did manage to get the esp8089 driver to work with it, the new function
to use for this is added by this commit:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/mmc/core?id=1433269c4d2461be1f36db5dbb453976b38996ff

I'm not sure what the status of upstreaming the ep8089 driver is now
that we've this in place.

Quentin, do you have a version of the esp8089 driver somewhere
which will work correctly with the new mmc_sw_reset() function?

Also what is the status of adding this driver to say staging?

Hans
