This patch looks good, provided it is not based of 1/3 and 2/3. There
are other boards in mach-davinci using the card detect and wp callbacks.
And some like board-dm365-evm.c have those pins routed through a CPLD.
So I guess there is more work to be done before platform callbacks can
completely be removed from MMC/SD driver. But the closer we get, the
better it is :)
