The idea would be to have a database with ID:s for cards
that may be gated. Any SDIO card not it this list would
not be gated.

My patch is indeed to the core?

This was to be a flag for explicitly letting the core
gate some specific hosts on the MMC bus, in the case
where you (when defining platform data) already know that
a gateable SDIO card was soldered hardly onto a certain
host.

Anyway, if we have such needs they can be fixed later.
