	Once upon a time it made sense to keep the mmc block device driver and its related code, in its own directory called card. Over time, more an more functions/structures have become shared through generic mmc header files, between the core and the card directory. In other words, the relationship between them has become closer. By sharing functions/structures via generic header files, it becomes easy for outside users to abuse them. In a way to avoid that from happen, let's move the files from card directory into the core directory, as it enables us to move definitions of functions/structures into mmc core specific header files. Note, this is only the first step in providing a cleaner mmc interface for outside users. Following changes will do the actual cleanup, as that is not part of this change.

2016-09-26	mmc: card: do away with indirection pointer	Linus Walleij	1	-0/+1
	We have enough vtables in the kernel as it is, we don't need this one to create even more artificial separation of concerns. As is proved by the Makefile: obj-$(CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK) += mmc_block.o mmc_block-objs := block.o queue.o block.c and queue.c are baked into the same mmc_block.o object. So why would one of these objects access a function in the other object by dereferencing a pointer? Create a new block.h header file for the single shared function from block to queue and remove the function pointer and just call the queue request function. Apart from making the code more readable, this also makes link optimizations possible and probably speeds up the call as well.
