Then sdio_reset() it is. We're taking a risk of covering up bugs like the one we just found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-mmc@vger.kernel.org/msg08371.html So people will be happy that everything (seem to) work, without even knowing their card might not have been powered off at all. But I still think it's generally better, given the alternatives. And since this should not have any bad effect for anyone else, I'm also OK with not wrapping the sdio_reset and the CMD5 arg=0 you're adding with a quirk. After that's in place, I plan to completely get rid of MMC_CAP_POWER_OFF_CARD, since the only evidence we had when we added it was the sd8686, and today we know it's not necessary at all.
