Sorry, but I doubt we ever get to add proper upstream support for mmc
hosts managing multiple slots. Simply because all the efforts it takes
isn't worth it.

Today there are some host trying to support this, but those are hacks,
which is working very poorly. I don't want to maintain more of those,
then it's better those are managed by vendors out of tree.

There have been several discussions on this topic, this is just one
that I found while searching.

If you need any further explainations, please just ask.
