In this case, it's Synopsys who provides the SD/MMC/MS core to other
chip makers (Altera etc).

According to drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc-pltfm.c , the Altera SoCFPGA one
"altr,socfpga-dw-mshc" and also Imagination Technology Pistacio one
"img,pistachio-dw-mshc" need specialty bit (SDMMC_CMD_USE_HOLD_REG),
while the stock one "snps,dw-mshc" does not. I am not sure if the ARC
one needs it as well, but most likely yes.

I wonder if that bit is needed on some particular version of the DWMMC
core. In that case, should we have "snps,dw-mshc" and "snps,dw-mshc-vN"
binding ? Or should we use DT property to discern the need for this bit ?
