I will try to see what I can find out and why it has always been used only
With out-of band interrupts and whether there is a real hardware
Limitation behind it .
In the past also the omap-hsmmc driver was not really supporting in-band
sdio interrupt out of the box.
Not sure what is the state of it tofday.

Correct, assuming we can make in-band interrupt work with wilink8.
