Re: [PATCH v2] mmc: sdhci: add quirk for broken write protect detection

[Mike Looijmans]

ïI totally agree with Eli. The devicetree should read something like "WP is not 
present" (which will be the case on all micro SD readers). Having "WP is 
inverted" there is just misleading.

On our boards, I use MIO0 as a "heartbeat" LED. Combined with a quirk in XPS 
and/or Vivado that the pinmuxing for the WP line is actually routed to MIO0 
when you request it to be unrouted or to EMIO, this made the WP line on our 
systems appear as semi-random.
