The only thing I'm strongly opposed to is requiring chips that are
already working to add broken-cd to their device trees to continue
working.  I'd rather see SVR be used, as we do for errata in other
devices, but assuming the chips affected by this patch have never had
this feature work I'm not insisting on it.

Again, ARM can use the device tree (ESDHC isn't described in the
upstream LS2085A device tree yet, and the internal one already has
"fsl,ls2085a-esdhc").  And looking at the manual, LS2085A *does* have
SVR.  You'd need to read it from the DCFG block rather than a core
register, but it's there.
