Some hosts can accept only certain types of cards.
For example, an eMMC is MMC only and a uSD slot may
be SD only. However the MMC card scanning logic
checks for all card types one by one.

Add host capabilities to specify which card types
cannot be used, and amend the card scanning logic
to skip scanning for those types.


I'm only nitpicking here, but I think that logic is a little inverted.
By saying which cards cannot be used (as opposed to which cards can be
used), we get conditionals like this,

- mmc_send_if_cond(host, host->ocr_avail);
+ if (!(host->caps & MMC_CAP_NOT_SDIO) || !(host->caps & MMC_CAP_NOT_SD))
+ mmc_send_if_cond(host, host->ocr_avail);
+

Whilst reviewing this patch it took my brain a few too many seconds to
parse that as "if the host is capable of SDIO or SD".

And by saying what capabilities a host supports, when we add new
capabilities we don't have to modify existing code to say that it
doesn't support the new capability.

If the capabilities are the other way around, then all existing drivers
must be changed. On the other hand, the if statement can easily be
improved:

#define mmc_cap_mmc(host) (!((host)->caps & MMC_CAP_NOT_MMC))
#define mmc_cap_sd(host) (!((host)->caps & MMC_CAP_NOT_SD))
#define mmc_cap_sdio(host) (!((host)->caps & MMC_CAP_NOT_SDIO))

- mmc_send_if_cond(host, host->ocr_avail);
+ if (mmc_cap_sdio(host) || mmc_cap_sd(host))
+ mmc_send_if_cond(host, host->ocr_avail);
