Yes, that's the one. Ok, let's fix it in the driver. In fact, a fix has
already been submitted, but for 3.6. I hoped, 3.5 would resort to a softer
form of the ONESHOT failing, so, I didn't push it for -rc. I think, the
easiest would be to apply these two patches:

"mmc: tmio: use MMC opcode defines instead of numbers"
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/cjb/mmc.git;a=commit;h=598cd9cc217b0aa46089a3838a8b1c37b97aa08b

and

"mmc: extend and rename cd-gpio helpers to handle more slot GPIO functions"
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/cjb/mmc.git;a=commit;h=d8e60fb51effc83e6f53de191a8440f46e5a3f2c

The latter one looks big because of a rename, but with "-M" it's pretty
trivial. Chris, do you agree?

Thanks
