Thank for pointing me out at that thread. However, I don't think 
MMC_CAP_POWER_OFF_CARD has anything to do with compatibility or hardware 
revisions. At least I haven't yet come across any sd/mmc hosts, that also 
supply card power. You could "derive" this flag from the presence of a 
regulator, capable of changing its status (switching on / off), but even 
then you're not guaranteed, that you actually can (and want to) power the 
card off at run-time - the regulator can be shared etc. So, an explicit 
flag is needed.

Thanks
