Thank you for backing up what I've already said about this patch (which
is why I stopped applying Ulf's MMC patches at this patch.)

I've also been concerned with the mere saving and restoring of the
clock and power registers in this patch - something which the ARM version
of the primecell does not actually support.

I've said that before...
