Re: [PATCH v2 18/20] mmc: sdio: enable a default power off mode of the card

Add support for an SDIO device to stay powered off even without

Shouldn't this be the default behaviour? If there is no function driver for any of the functions of the card, then sdio core shold power off the card.

I don't see a need for a special capability flag for this.

in fact MMC_CAP_DONT_POWER_CARD does not seem like an mmc host's capability flag, it seems more like a request from the board to keep the card powered off.
