I'd like to confirm if you require a universal child node
parsing function to deal with all the child node use cases.
It might be a little difficult to us.

I guess that your requirement is like:
int mmc_of_pars(struct mmc_host *host)
{
...
np = mmc_of_find_child_device(host, 0);
if (np && of_device_is_compatible(np, "mmc-card")) {
...
}
...
}
Am I correct?
Actually, I previously tried this implementation.
But I found that it is difficult to return eMMC card type information
to our vendor driver. Our Xenon driver expects to know if the device
is eMMC card through this parse.

Thanks a lot. Actually I'm not sure if our implementation to detect
eMMC card type can meet your requirement of child node parsing.
Please help provide me some examples or patches.
Thank you.
