Hi,

Question for Heiko or rob+dt.
Where would should #address-cells and #size-cells go in the dts or to the dtsi.
In case they become required in a futhure rockchip-dw-mshc.yaml?
ie. Should we patch all XXX rockchip,rk3288-dw-mshc nodes with them?

I don't think it is a required property for the dw-mmc itself, as only
in special-cases do you need subnodes there. Like emmc and sd-cards
are completely probeable without needing further information and
only the wifi/bt chips _might_ need these.

So I don't think that this is a property of the controller itself, but te
connected card - hence should stay in the board file.

Indeed, and in general dtc already warns about those properties being present unnecessarily, e.g.:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399.dtsi:1812.27-1847.4: Warning (avoid_unnecessary_addr_size): /mipi@ff968000: unnecessary #address-cells/#size-cells without "ranges" or child "reg" property
