Ok, great. As I said previously, this is quite easy to do.

Here it is http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/23/299
+ static struct spi_driver of_mmc_spi_driver = {

And here http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/24/153 David Brownell says:

^^^ That reminds me v1.

Here http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/25/5 you answered though, but there
was no bottom line.

I hope the bottom line is that we're now all happy to create another
spi_driver to handle "OF MMC-o-SPI" devices..?
