Introduce a platform device support which is decoupled
from the life cycle of the sdio function.

The platform device objective is to deliver board-specific
values (like irq, ref_clock, and software card-detect
emulation control).

The driver can then dynamically create (or destroy)
the sdio function whenever the wlan interface is
brought up (or down), as part of the power() operation.

Is this the right approach? Why should you emulate a card disconnect event when the wlan interface is brought down?

Physically the card is never disconnected. So I don't see why we should fake it.
Could you please explain why you need to do this?
