Correct.

As a matter of fact, the sdio irqs can be delivered through a couple
of different paths. The legacy (scheduled for removal), is from a
dedicated kthread. The more "modern" way is either from the context of
a threaded IRQ handler or via a workqueue.

However, there are also so-called out of band SDIO irqs, typically
routed via a separate GPIO line. This isn't managed by the MMC/SDIO
subsystem, but the SDIO functional driver itself.

Kind regards
Uffe
