The state framework also has support for SD/eMMC devices, so mention
them in the documentation.

+The following devicetree node entry defines some kind of SD/eMMC memory and
+a partition at a specific offset inside it to be used as the backend for the
+*state* variable set. Note that currently there is no support for on-disk
+partition tables. Instead, a ofpart partition description must be used. You
+have to make sure that this partition does not conflict with any other partiion
