I think that we're miss-communicating a bit here. What I'm trying to say
is that trying to extend the dw_mmc driver to support sunxi is a bad
idea because the sunxi hardware is quite different. And that the
sunxi hardware having autostop allows the existing sunxi-mci driver to
be much simpler then the dw-mmc driver.

IOW the much simpler driver already exists and it is the sunxi-mci
driver.

Hans
