I don't know, I don't have an SDHCI device at hand to test..

The comments say:

/* Each module must use one module_init(). */

And for module_exit():

/* This is only required if you want to be unloadable. */

If it's not true we need to fix the docs as well...

But I discussed it with Ulf in the office last week and he was
frantically testing out dropping it altogether.
