Right, this is where spi-gpio is, please disregard my question in the
mmc-spi-gpio thing thread, it was domestic blindness after all :-)

Looks good overall.  I'm not sure that it need pretend to be
hotpluggable though (i.e. the board info can be hardwired so there's no
need for the board setup callback).  I guess this is to integrate with
your "dynamically create an mmc over spi over gpio" thinggy in the other
thread.  As I said there, I'd prefer that this platform device is
treated like other platform devices and any dynamicness be introduced at
in a more generic way.

What problem are you solving (or whole in board support are you
plugging) in this dynamic plugging of MMCs?

Thanks,
	--Ben.
