I notice there two solutions.

First, a board specific dts with the following compatible line.
&mmc0 {
	compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h5-mmc", "allwinner,sun50i-a64-mmc";

This is my v2 https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/817502/

Second solution, send a v4 without the compatible line and a new patch to 
fix sun50i-h5.dtsi. The New patch will add a compatible.

&mmc0 {
	compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h5-mmc", "allwinner,sun50i-a64-mmc";
}

Please advise.

regards,
