    Currently, no variant implements SDIO irq.

    The SDIO irq polling mode from the sdio core will still be functional,
    as of today. So, this patch will not break SDIO.

    If we add SDIO irq support to mmci in future; parts of that
    implementation includes a re-route of DAT1 to a GPIO irq when entering
    runtime suspend state. The mmci HW will in runtime suspend state, not
    be responsible for handling irqs, which is the same as of today.

    Kind regards
