Sorry, my original comment still holds true for the naming,
now the name suggests that this driver is generic to ARM devices,
which clearly is not true.

Can you list which devices have a MMCI that is covered by this
driver? PL180 only? Or a series of PLxxx? It should be
possible to find a naming that is more descriptive than "arm".

(That such a generic name slipped into the kernel must not
imply we have to make the same mistake in u-boot)

Best Regards,
Reinhard
