As you have probably noticed, we are introducing a new driver
(sdhci_am654) for newer platforms. I don't foresee using sdhci-omap
driver with any other platforms. In case we do use it, we can add the dt
property at that point of time and default to "cpu_thermal" to maintain
dt compatibility.

Will rebase and send v2 if you are ok with above.

Thanks,
