About module priority

[Tirtha Ghosh]

I doubt if this is possible between built-in drivers and modules. 

The way u r thinking might not work properly as even if ur driver probed first how would u stop probing the common one. Once that will be probed it will mess with ur settings. 

As these drivers are for same devices u must have common logic to separate these out. 

I m not familiar with mmc drivers, might have some other way to implement.
