I like this.

It's exactly what we need for the wl12xx, so thanks for pushing this.

I'm not sure about the necessity of the function hooks though - it
just looks like complexity that we don't really need, and I would
rather have this framework directly set the required quirks like USB
is doing. I do see the benefit it provides you with the gating
framework and the SDIO set/unset issue, and I don't have a cleaner
alternative approach, so I guess we can live with it.
