Since WM8650 has the same 'WMT' SDHC controller as WM8505, and the
driver is already in the kernel, this node enables the controller
support for WM8650

     According to the ePAPR standard, the device nodes should have
generic names according to their functions, so this node should be
named just "sd@d800a000".

Sergei,

Why not "sdmmc" or "sdhci" or "sdio" then? It would be great to name

SDHCI is the SD host controller standard, while the names should describe "the function of the device and not its precise programming model". SDIO isn't the physical interface name, the physical interface underneath is still SD. "mmcsd" or "mmc-sd" would be appropriate, however just "mmc" is typically used.

nodes in same way, but there is no exact requirement in ePAPR v1.1
regarding SD/MMC controllers.

   Yes, MMC/SD node names are not yet standardized.

Also, in Linux I don't see that someone
strictly follows this requirement.

Because people for the most part are not aware of it, despite http://www.devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage points to ePAPR and the section 2.4 of this page also tells to use generic names.

This renaming will affect driver,
since .compatible strings likely also need changing.

   Why on earth they'll need change?!
