[PATCH] mmc: remove linux/blkdev.h include from host drivers

[Dmitry Artamonow]

None of mmc host drivers using linux/blkdev.h header
really need anything from it. The slight exception is
atmel-mci, which uses blkdev.h only because it indirectly
pulls asm/cacheflush.h

So remove any inclusion of blkdev.h - it should also fix
build errors of dw_mmc and atmel-mci drivers when
CONFIG_BLOCK is disabled, like following:

I've compile tested everything with and without CONFIG_BLOCK enabled,
except for imxmmc.c - this driver seems to be long time broken
(at least since the removal of mach-imx in 2.6.31 - see commit
1341d34ffc296f98dc84876f35f3151525dc02a2 ) 

If there any plans to remove imxmmc.c soon, I can drop corresponding
chunk from this patch and resend it to not create conflicts.

I can confirm that it no longer builds:

/home/cjb/git/mmc/drivers/mmc/host/imxmmc.c:32:26: fatal error: mach/imx-dma.h: No such file or directory

Should imxmmc simply be removed from drivers/mmc/host?  Do any of the
more current i.MX MMC drivers support the same hardware?

It has long been on my todo list to remove this driver. The more recent
i.MX use the mxcmmc driver which is basically the same hardware but
without a bunch of bugs which made the older imxmmc driver unusable on
newer hardware. I can send a patch if you like.

Thanks, let's do it.

It would be nice to have a story for how MX1 users can use their
hardware with modern kernels, even if it's just "It should be possible
to modify the mxcmmc driver to support this older hardware, and the sort
of changes that need to be made are <..>".

(Dmitry, your patch is fine -- I can remove the imxmmc hunk from it when
applying.)
