The MMC case can be fixed a few ways.  It's "find the GPIO for
card-change or write-protect" and just leaving that in the state ROM has
it, is fine here.  The driver can really just be built with this off.
The network driver seems a bit more complex.
drivers/net/ti/cpsw-common.c::ti_cm_get_macid_addr() and similar need to
workout with PLATDATA instead.  For that case where we can use one SPL
and one DTB to boot a platform (or, family of platforms), something
could be worked out so that we figure it all out at build-time what path
will be taken.  But the CPSW driver is an example of something that
fairly mirrors the linux kernel driver and does as much via the DT as
possible.  I'm not sure how we rework this.
