Please do not create inconsistent bindings because some DTS are
inconsistent. Change the DTS and align them with generic MMC schema.
Node name should not be considered an ABI, so it can be changed in DTS.
Some systems unfortunately break (usually Android and Chrome like to
encode node names), so then it would have to be individually discussed.

But you have here 807! Both 806 and 807.  So is 807 compatible with 806
or not?
