I will review the driver code more closely in the next version, when you have separated the DT binding doc and put the legacy part in machine folder. Please keep me on cc on all patches. Regarding "multiple slot" support. Don't follow other existing examples in other mmc host drivers, as I find it highly unlikely that the core will ever support this. *If* that changes, then the mmc host driver may adopt this, but not until that.
