No, it doesn't work on Versatile PB926 in mainline (I tried it this morning)
because the card detection (via the ->status callback) is inverted - just
like it was for realview.  What happens is you get commands issued to the
card on card removal, and nothing on card insertion.

What I'm proposing is that we get rid of these multiple levels of negation
that we're gaining.  The negations only add additional complexity and
confusion over what's the right thing to return at any given point.  Lets
stick to one positive logic method throughout the code - 0 means no card,
!0 means card inserted.

That means your original patch needs to be reverted, and we need to change
the 'return !status;' to just 'return status;' in mmci.c's get_cd function
as per my patch.

However, I think this will make GPIO on Realview wrong - iirc, the card
detection bits from PL061 are inverted.
