Between duplicating some platform resource allocation code in the separate driver, a driver (or shim layer) that will be needed in either case, I don't consider that a high price to pay. > If there is something yet missing in sdhci-pltfm which you need, it > probably is worth adding it there.

It will result in just one more abstraction layer that makes following code flow harder. I know there's times when it makes sense to do so. I just consider this one to be over the line where it makes sense to do a separate driver. Especially if you want some of the quirk code to be moved from sdhci.c to the driver.
