A quirk is something which needs to be handled in a special case because
some controllers do not adhere to the SDHC standard. An 8 bit bus seems
to be in the 3.0 standard, so it is not a quirk :) Does the standard say
anything about how the actual bus width should be handled?

That said, you are right that quirks have been abused to cover board
issues. Another reason to clean them up ;)

Regards,
