Re: [RFC PATCH 0/2] hw/sd: Deprecate the SPI mode and the SPI to SD adapter

I tried to maintain the SPI mode because it is useful in
tiny embedded devices, and thought it would be helpful for
the AVR MCUs.
As AVR was blocked, I thought it was wise to deprecate the
SPI mode as users are interested in the faster MMC mode.
Today Thomas surprised me by posting an update of it!

I'm still posting this as RFC to discuss, but I'm reconsiderating
keeping this mode a bit more.
I think it's worth keeping.
I'm pretty sure the HiFive Unleashed (sifive_u in QEMU) uses SD over
SPI. There isn't an upstream model but I think there are out of tree
patches that hopefully one day will make it upstream.
