OK, at least its codified somewhere. Still, this results in the opposite
effect: DTBs written for one SoC, using compatibles from other SoCs just
because "they are the same anyway". And doing this properly, well, results
in essentially duplicate compatibles.

And "fallback compatibles" won't solve this case anyway, as there is no
common compatible that denotes "Exynos7 DW-MMC that has the bug".

Probably it makes sense to put this patch after the actual implementation,
so that git bisect always gives a working setup.

Pretty much the only thing that is broken are SDIO cards, because they run
very short transfers (below the DMA threshold) over the data lines. That's
exactly what I stated.
