I kinda ducked the patch because there are no callers of the function.

Well let's cc Dmitry then.  Dmitry's patch is somewhat different from
yours and that needs to be looked at.

Some comments:

: From: Grazvydas Ignotas <notasas@xxxxxxxxx>
: 
: SDIO specification allows RAW (Read after Write) operation using
: IO_RW_DIRECT command (CMD52) by setting the RAW bit.  This operation is
: similar to ordinary read/write commands, except that both write and read
: are performed using single command/response pair.  The Linux SDIO layer
: already supports this internaly, only external function is missing for
: drivers to make use, which is added by this patch.
: 
: This type of command is required to implement proper power save mode
: support in wl1251 wifi driver.

"b" is a poor name.  Please choose something meaningful.

This test doesn't gain us much.  If `func' is NULL, we'll reliably oops
when dereferencing it, which gives the same info as the BUG_ON().
