There aren't many options. You may pollute generic driver with
quirks (which is not an option :-), or you can introduce more
ops for things like sdhci_send_command(), but in that case
you will duplicate the logic just to compensate minor register
differences.

In some cases, e.g. capabilities register, it seems that introducing
get_caps() op would be a logical step, but then you just move the code
under 'if (reg == SDHCI_CAPABILITIES) { ' into a dedicated function.
No big difference.

As for me, I don't see any catastrophe coming because of the register
access fixups. Quite the contrary: from the maintenance stand point,
you just need to know how the generic SDHCI works, and then you can
look into platform drivers to see their differences, which are mostly
minor.

Thanks,
