Also all boards using:

hw/sd/milkymist-memcard.c:278:    /* FIXME use a qdev drive property
instead of drive_get_next() */
hw/sd/pl181.c:506:    /* FIXME use a qdev drive property instead of
drive_get_next() */
hw/sd/ssi-sd.c:253:    /* FIXME use a qdev drive property instead of
drive_get_next() */

I.e.:

static void pl181_realize(DeviceState *dev, Error **errp)
{
    PL181State *s = PL181(dev);
    DriveInfo *dinfo;

    /* FIXME use a qdev drive property instead of drive_get_next() */
    dinfo = drive_get_next(IF_SD);
    s->card = sd_init(dinfo ? blk_by_legacy_dinfo(dinfo) : NULL, false);
    if (s->card == NULL) {
        error_setg(errp, "sd_init failed");
    }
}
