This patch adds description for no-sd, no-sdio, no-mmc. We
expect the specific boards adds these in DT to improve
the initialization. For instance, for a soldered eMMC slot,
we could skip sending SDIO and SD commands to probe its card
types as it's always should be the type fo MMC card.

I still have issue with the description for these properties and the
commit msg. They are fine if described as controller limitations as Ulf
described. If folks want to (ab)use the properties for just skipping
init, then that's their problem.

Sounds like it's okay for you if I amend the commit msg and drscription
to emphasize that these properties are intent to describe the
limitations of controllers rather than to skip init.

I will fix them.

Thanks.


Rob
