There's no point in copying the return value into a local then ignoring
it. mmc_regulator_set_ocr() can return a negative errno so we should
test for that, clean up and propagate the error.

If we really do deliberately ignore the error then there should be a
code comment which excuses this behaviour and perhaps a warning printk.

The same comments apply to mmci_set_ios().

omap_hsmmc_1_set_power() gets it right.

Why doesn't omap_hsmmc_23_set_sleep() run .before_set_reg() and
.after_set_reg()?
