You fail to explain that the other devices have a bogus PCI configuration.

We are really not interested in the details of whats compiled in or
not and which other device is acquiring the interrupt. What matters
is: It's an init ordering problem.

That's pretty useless. You tell the reader that you add a quirk, which
is hardly interesting because the subject line already talks about a
workaround. You fail to tell WHAT the quirk is doing.

Aside of that, starting a sentence in a changelog with "This patch" is
silly. We already know that THIS is a patch.

Let me rephrase the whole thing:

"On Intel Tangier the MMC host controller is wired up to irq 0. But
 several other devices have irq 0 associated as well due to a bogus
 PCI configuration.

 The first initialized driver will acquire irq 0 and make it
 unavailable for other devices. If the sdhci driver is not the first
 one it will fail to acquire the interrupt and therefor be non
 functional.

 Add a quirk to the pci irq enable function which denies irq 0 to
 anything else than the MMC host controller driver on Tangier
 platforms."

Can you see the difference?

Please add defines at the top of the file, not just randomly in the
middle of the code.

What's the point here? Can dev->irq_managed be set and dev->irq be < 0?

It's nice that you want to make the eMMC controller happy, but I doubt
that the silicon actually cares.

Please add a proper comment explaining the issue at hand.

So now we have:

       if (dev->irq == 0) {
             switch(intel_mid_identify_cpu()) {
             case INTEL_MID_CPU_CHIP_TANGIER:
             ....
       }

and right after that:

       if (intel_mid_identify_cpu() == INTEL_MID_CPU_CHIP_TANGIER)
          ....

That's just silly. Whats wrong with:

       switch (intel_mid_identify_cpu()) {
       case INTEL_MID_CPU_CHIP_TANGIER:
            polarity = 0;
            if (dev->irq == 0) {
               ....
            }
            break;
       default:
            polarity = 1;
       }

Hmm?
