	Based on the implementation in this release, "mmccard" is no longer required.

	More details:
	eMMC Vqmmc in Xenon is fixed without a regulator. Thus 1.8V Signaling Enable bit
	in SDHC doesn't work.
	As a result, Xenon driver has to skip sdhci_start_signal_voltage_switch() to avoid
	checking 1.8V signaling enable bit when setting signaling voltage.

	Previously, we use "mmccard" to inform Xenon driver that it is an eMMC card
	and therefore sdhci_start_signal_voltage_switch() is skipped.

	Currently, Xenon driver directly checks if Vqmmc regulator is provided.
	Skip sdhci_start_signal_voltage_switch() if Vqmmc is fixed.
	In my own opinion, it is more direct and clear, than checking eMMC card type. 

	Thank you.

Best regards,
Hu Ziji
