Normally I would prefer one patch per host driver, but in this series
the changes are so trivial that it just becomes more difficult for me
to manage.

Please squash all changes that convert from using ->remove() to
.remove_new() into one single patch for the mmc host drivers. Note
that, I discovered there are some additional cleanups being part of
the series, those deserve to be submitted indepently of this.

Kind regards
