Shouldn't this be the default behaviour? If there is no function driver for any of the functions of the card, then sdio core shold power off the card.

I don't see a need for a special capability flag for this.

in fact MMC_CAP_DONT_POWER_CARD does not seem like an mmc host's capability flag, it seems more like a request from the board to keep the card powered off.
