See my previous response. It'd increase code size, but if you mark that code 
__init, it'll be freed after that function finishes so it doesn't matter.

If something wrong goes on, you can still debug it without for example MMC card 
(though if you continued probing the MMC driver, it might cause additional 
unwanted noise and make the debugging harder). That's the whole point.
