The bindings in this document are common mmc DT bindings, not bindings
specific to a mmc controller.

So unless these bindings are applicable for another controller than
sdhci, I suggest we create a new file to document these.
How about Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/sdhci.txt?

This applies to some more places below as well.

Overall, I like this idea as it gives us good flexibility. Thus it
should avoid us to having to add any further new similar "sdhci broken
cap" DT binding. We could also decide to start deprecate some of the
existing sdhci bindings, if we think that makes sense.

The downside is that we get a "magic" hex value in the dts. Although,
people could address this issue by providing some comments about what
the bits it means in the dts files themselves.

Let's see what Rob thinks about this.

Kind regards
Uffe
