[PATCH] arm64: dts: amlogic: meson-sm1-odroid: let the SD card be powered down

[Igor Velkov via B4 Relay]

From: Igor Velkov <iav@xxxxxx>

A warm reboot leaves the ODROID-HC4 in the bootloader: the card is still
detected - CID and CSD read fine - but data transfers fail, and both
U-Boot and the boot ROM give up on CMD18. A cold power cycle always
recovers it.

The card is left in UHS mode at 1.8 V, and nothing after Linux brings it
back to 3.3 V: the bootloader resets the controller, not the card. The
kernel does try to cut the power on the way out - mmc_bus_shutdown() ends
in _mmc_sd_suspend(), which calls mmc_power_off(), and meson-gx-mmc then
disables the vmmc regulator - but TFLASH_VDD is marked
regulator-always-on, so the regulator core keeps it enabled and the card
keeps its supply.

Drop the property. The regulator has a consumer that manages it, and
regulator-boot-on already describes the state it comes up in.

Tested on ODROID-HC4 with a card that reproduces the failure. Not tested
on ODROID-C4, which shares this file.
