Right. As I understand it:

* You can certainly add MMC_CAP_SDIO_IRQ to an external card slot that
might have an MMC card, and SD card, or an SDIO card. You still want
the LOW_PWR mode for MMC/SD cards but don't want it for SDIO cards in
that case.

* If you don't set MMC_CAP_SDIO_IRQ then presumably you've got some
problem where the SDIO interrupt is broken on your board. That means
you're using polling mode to find interrupts. As I understand it that
would allow you to use LOW_PWR since you don't need to detect SDIO
interrupts. I know on Marvell WiFi modules I tested this seemed to
work OK, but I doubt anyone is really running a production device in
this way.


Basically I was trying to mirror the functionality of the old code as
closely as possible. In the old code if you were using polling mode
then dw_mci_enable_sdio_irq() should never be called and you'd never
go out of low power mode.
