It could if I keep one or two clocks enabled (need extra tests to be
sure about the clock needed to get this interrupt). I have tried to modify
quickly sdhci_runtime_suspend_host() to enable card insertion/removal,
there is an irq generated but the kernel complains this irq is not
handled. I didn't dig further, it was only to do a simple test.
