some reasons why i love switch statements ;) since I dont expect other
than precisely 4 and 8 (do we expect 5,6,7 - i might be wrong).. but if
it is so, wont the following be better?

switch (mmc_slot(host).wires)
{
case 8:
mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_8_BIT_DATA;
/* fall thru*/
case 4:
mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_4_BIT_DATA;
break;
default:
WARN("bad width");
}
I like that, but I remember Madhu (or someone else) saying he thinks
it's less readable this way. Go figure...

Well, I did not comment on the usage of switch here. Note we only need to
handle 8-bit and 4-bit.The board files need not setup 8-bit or 4-bit if the
configuration of that board is 1-bit. The driver will still work in 1-bit
mode which would mean there is nothing to do in default case and should not
err out.
check the attachment out.. hope that takes care of it.. just as a reference alone ofcourse..
