Aside: the bindings do not match the code. The bindings document says
to use "fsl,cd-internal", and imx51-babbage.dts does so -- but the code
doesn't check for "fsl,cd-internal", it checks for "fsl,cd-controller":
if (of_get_property(np, "fsl,cd-controller", NULL))
boarddata->cd_type = ESDHC_CD_CONTROLLER;
The same confusion is present for fsl,wp-{controller,internal}.
Ignoring that, these bindings are similar, but not the same -- imx-esdhc
only allows one of the cd_type cases to be true, so you either have
cd-internal or you have cd-gpios:
if (of_get_property(np, "fsl,cd-controller", NULL))
boarddata->cd_type = ESDHC_CD_CONTROLLER;
boarddata->cd_gpio = of_get_named_gpio(np, "cd-gpios", 0);
if (gpio_is_valid(boarddata->cd_gpio))
boarddata->cd_type = ESDHC_CD_GPIO;
This differs from Thomas's binding -- he wants a way to say "the cd-gpio
mentioned in cd-gpios is [internal/external] to the card's CD pin".

Agreed, I was going to say the same thing. Putting it all together, it
sounds like we want:
no extra properties: the CD pin on the host just works.
broken-cd: the CD pin on the host is broken; use polling.
cd-gpios: the GPIO listed is the CD pin on the host being
brought out directly to a GPIO.
cd-external: when used with cd-gpios, specifies that the GPIO
in cd-gpios is external to the CD pin on the host.
cd-gpios and cd-external can be present on the same node. if broken-cd
is present, it must be the only one of these nodes used.
Shawn, I guess I'll leave it up to you on whether/when you'd like to
move away from the "fsl," properties to the new common ones?
If this looks okay to everyone, I'll send a patch soon.
Thanks!
- Chris.
