This is more likely question to HW engineers of your platform with a caveat
that there should be a way to distinguish exact slot in which card is being
inserted.

I think in such case the bug in HW design and / or driver.

This depends on the above, e.g. HW design, ACPI tables.

Actually above questions better to ask in linux-mmc mailing list, which by the
fact is in Cc list already. So, wait for someone to clarify.

ACPI specification misses this property, that's why we have it in the
structure. In your case it should be provided by _DSD and thus be consistent
with the hardcoded values.

As far as I can see in the above it is disturbing the current code more than
needed.
