But sdhci_msm_gcc_reset() is called only from the driver probe function
(sdhci_msm_probe()), before MMC_CAP2_CRYPTO is set.  So Jie's comment is
correct: the new key reprogramming path is dead code.  And as per the
following comment, key reprogramming is still needed in some cases
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mmc/42797330-868a-bfcd-e0bb-b5f0dd3eeb16@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/).
So doesn't this patch break the sdhci-msm driver?

I'm also skeptical of the following change, which seems unrelated to the
rest of the patch:

Because of that, mtk-sd sets MMC_CAP2_CRYPTO even when
CONFIG_MMC_CRYPTO=n.  That makes CQHCI_CRYPTO_GENERAL_ENABLE be used
even when CONFIG_MMC_CRYPTO=n.
