+
+The rule must exist somewhere in some other file then.
+
+Check for backup files in /etc/modprobe.d/ or similar or just super
+generically:
+
+grep -r sdhci /etc/modprobe*
+
+
+Perhaps this rule is being run from your initrd and thus after editing
+the file you may have to regenerate your initrd as it obvious has to
+contain static copies of modprobe rules.
