Good point!

I guess I was hoping that running through ->remove() and then
->probe() for the SDIO func drivers should simply take care of
whatever that may be needed. In some way this makes the driver broken
already in regards to this path, but never mind.

Thanks again for testing and for valuable feedback! Clearly this needs
a little more thinking.

An additional concern I see with the "hotplug approach" implemented in
$subject patch, is that it becomes unnecessary heavy when there is
only one SDIO func driver bound.

In one way I am tempted to try to address that situation, as it seems
a bit silly to do full hotplug dance when it isn't needed.

That's really good news. Thanks!

Alright, let me rework this and post a new version. I keep you posted.

Kind regards
