You don't need a driver update if you use a fallback. When you add 
the 2nd chip, if you think it is 'the same', then you do:

compatible = "fsl,imxrt1024-usdhc", "fsl,imxrt1050-usdhc";

That requires no driver update until the driver needs to handle some 
difference. And when there is a difference, you don't need a DT update.

You could make "fsl,imxrt-usdhc" the fallback from the start if you are 
adverse to the first way.
