The fix is only in the driver. In fact, I'm using the same firmware from
the ChromeOS rootfs for both the v3.8 vendor tree and mainline.

So IIUC, the problem with the vendor tree was that the mwifiex SDIO driver
mwifiex_sdio_reset_work() function did a card reset by calling the functions
mmc_remove_host() and then mmc_add_host().

But this didn't play nice with MMC_CAP_NONREMOVABLE since mmc_rescan() just
returns if the flag is set so the card wouldn't be tried to be detected again.

After commit ("b4336a282db8 mwifiex: sdio: reset adapter using mmc_hw_reset"),
the card is reset by doing a power cycle so that's why "non-removable" can be
used now instead of "broken-cd".

Thanks a lot for taking a look.
