It doesn't seem to be "not for all cards" - if I boot without a card in
the slot, I still get the kernel message spew.  Turns out to be a merge
error, which I hadn't realised due to the pressure of this thread.

However, since I have a patch which adds SDHCI support with the comments
that Tom has against yours already fixed (which is a trivial subset of
my patch adding SDHCI with pinmux support) I'm about to send that.
