I didn't look up the flow myself, as I don't have time for that right
now, but I think I've got a pretty good picture from your description.

I think we should really try to make the Tegra MMC init flow as similar
as possible to the other peripherals, so I suggest doing the following:
1. Provide a pin_mux_mmc() (possibly with a weak define as done with
other peripherals). Boards should do pinmux and rail enabling within
this function.
2. Move board_mmc_init() into nvidia/common/board.c, this function
should call into the board specific pinmux function and then call
tegra_mmc_init().

So even while we don't get the complete same flow as for other
peripherals as the board_mmc_init() still has to be a freestanding
function, instead of those things being folded into board_init(), we at
least gain a clear distinction between the board specific parts and
Tegra common code.
