Yes, this is what I'm proposing (except for the "inline" bit which
seems meaningless if it's called via the mmci_host_ops structure.)
I'm also proposing that it shouldn't just be the blksz that's
returned but anything that the variant needs to take account of,
including the stm transfer mode.

As this is returning a register value, "u32" would be more appropriate
than "int".

I don't see any reason not to make the call unconditional and have every
variant supply an appropriate function pointer.  IMHO that keeps stuff
cleaner.
