I suspect that MMC device (or its parts) should be always awake to keep
working CDETECT register. With cd-gpio it should be possible to power it
off when unused but still having detection working, am I right? I am not
familiar enough with the code to be certain that it improves PM but it
could be the case.

My other question is about polling thread, original patch was developed
to avoid polling thread which caused occasional hangs, crashes and
unnecessary work. Since then lot of mmc code changed and I do not follow
these changes. So my question is if this patch will not re-enable polling?
