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.
