fsl_esdhc.c contains some fallback code if board_mmc_getcd() isn't
implemented, and I'm not at all familiar with the code so I didn't want to
touch it before getting any comments by the corresponding maintainer. My best
guess, though, is that the code can remain as is, because if the CD check is
done before the ->init() callback and the card isn't inserted, then the code
in question won't be executed anyway. If the card is inserted, however, then
board_mmc_getcd() will be called twice, which shouldn't harm either.

However, it seems like board_mmc_getcd() is used differently by fsl_esdhc in
that it uses the cd parameter as "card absent" (inverted logic). That will of
course have to be adjusted.

Perhaps I should've tagged the patch RFC because it really shouldn't be
applied as-is.

Actually I had put Andy Fleming on Cc, but apparently the list stripped that
again. I'll try Cc'ing Andy again, perhaps it'll work this time.
