Using the device_property interfaces allows the dw_mmc driver to work
on platforms which run on either device tree or ACPI.
Can you please split this to two separate changes. One for dw_mmc with
a proper prefix (mmc: dw_mmc:) and one for the mmc core (prefix "mmc:
core:").

Yes, I will do that.

Btw, for the core part of change I would recommend to check other API
functions which might go slightly different in case of ACPI vs DT vs
built-in device properties.

For example, if any code is using of_gpio header and of_ related stuff
it should be rethought as well (not sure if we would change there
anything, though worth to double check).

I have not purged all references to of_ APIs from the core code. However, the ones which remain are specific to hardware I don't have, so I wouldn't be able to test those code paths. Btw, there is no good reason I can see to include of_gpio.h here, none of those interfaces seem to be used.
