This actually results in an unpleasant rather than redundant behavior.
Right after this patch gets applied and before patch #3 gets applied,
driver sdhci-esdhc-imx will use polling even for ESDHC_CD_GPIO case.

Besides above, this is another sign that the patch (and series) should
be better partitioned.

Remove this, please.

The current sdhci-esdhc-imx implementation clears flag
SDHCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_CARD_DETECTION even for ESDHC_CD_GPIO case
and then emulate flag SDHCI_CARD_PRESENT by reading CD gpio state in
esdhc_readl_le().  Obviously, simply setting the flag for gpio case
does not provide an equal behavior as before.
