I see, thanks for your patience...

So I may remember this wrong, but for the 3 different interrupt
sources I believe that the SDIO IRQ code was added by Arnd for one of
the Renesas SDHI platforms. Back then Ian disliked supporting more
than a single interrupt source, so for that reason the SDIO IRQ code
was added on top of the common interrupt handler. We had no
documentation either, so it was added in a rather random way. I recall
the SDIO IRQ being handled before the other interrupt types in the
common handler not last, but that's not very important. Anyway, with
the fact that SDIO IRQ support was added for SDHI platforms in mind
then we can assume that other platforms won't need it. Not sure if
this fact will improve our situation or not.

As for the two remaining interrupts, I believe they share hardware
registers somehow. I guess I'm OK keeping the original behavior
somehow, but I still believe it's incorrect. It may not matter very
much though since it's rather unlikely that hotplug insertion or eject
coincides with the data IRQs.

Thanks for your help!
