No, I don't. I like the v2 approach better as long as it is been
changed to address your comments. This approach I think is needlessly
complex and non-obvious (relying on the notification chain instead of
being part of the probe call). It will break in non-obvious ways if
the notifier module is loaded after the mmc_spi driver.

Cheers,
