According to the below commit, SDHCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_CARD_DETECTION was
invented because of unreliable card detection mechanism inside the
sdhci controller.
Therefore it required polling to be used, but also to make ->get_cd()
to always return 1 in these cases.

Although, as I understand it that's not the case here. You can still
rely on card detection to work, but as you don't have wakeups you
can't fully make use of card detect, when combined with runtime PM.
I am not sure we should add more users of
SDHCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_CARD_DETECTION, especially since in this case it's
not reflecting the capability of the hardware.

Can't we think of another way?

Kind regards
Uffe

sdhci: Add support for card-detection polling

This patch adds SDHCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_CARD_DETECTION quirk. When specified,
sdhci driver will set MMC_CAP_NEEDS_POLL MMC host capability, and won't
enable card insert/remove interrupts.

This is needed for hosts with unreliable card detection, such as FSL
eSDHC. The original eSDHC driver was tring to "debounce" card-detection
IRQs by reading present state and disabling particular interrupts. But
with this debouncing scheme I noticed that sometimes we miss card
insertion/removal events.
