I checked the log and found the commit that invokes mmc_power_off():
a08b17be8b984a7c51cd5a480cd977363df353f9
0d3e3350d5871c53464be4c92d57198744247005
(https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-mmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg19638.html )

The proposed change might bring back some delay since invoking
mmc_power_off() in mmc_start_host() is more than NOP now and triggers
real power-off and re-init in sdhci.

Will this be OK?
