"for SDIO slots" is somewhat misleading; nearly all controllers only
do one slot/device per controller. The designware controller can do
multiple slots, and that adds a bit of driver and binding complexity
for something that seemingly not a single vendor has actually
implemented.
The Marvell 8688, just to name one, does both WIFI and BlueTooth over 
the same SDIO controller using separate functions/slots.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you?
I wasn't aware of this but I just checked (in mmc_attach_sdio) that
there can be multiple functions on a slot. I assume the sd8688 has
a single slot with two functions, so that potentially extends the
problem space if we need to supply clocks and regulators per
function rather than just per slot.
