Actually the above commits was added due to the below commit:

fa5501890d8974301042e0202d342a6cbe8609f4

But the commits you refer to, didn't bring back the old behaviour,
which I think was the intent. Instead we added a NOP call to
mmc_power_off() from mmc_start_host().

We have few options on how to go forward, but let's loop in Adrian
Hunter first, since he might be able to comment on this as well.

Kind regards
