The issues I am aware of is to start out changing the register access
macros into function pointers and stick them all into the fileops
structure. Provide a set of SDIO ones to match the USB ones. Then you
will need some code to detect the device, as that part will obviously be
different from the USB device detection.

I know there are a few issues to look out for in the hw register init
files to look out for too, that does some special casing for SDIO, but
that should be limited. I am happy to point someone in the right
direction on that when they get to that.

Cheers,
Jes
