I just tried this and the device is not detected again; adding
"non-removable" seems to be required if changing the dts.

I should point out that I did investigate runtime detection. Patching
the fdt alone didn't seem to work using the hooks that were available,
so I started looking into how MMC was being initialised to figure out
if there was something changing the state of the device before it was
returned to BootROM. I ended up in drivers/mmc/mmc.c mmc_start_init
trying to figure out how we always end up with the "MMC: no card
present" message in the eMMC case. I was going to write some extra
logic around the mmc_getcd call, but realised there was already an
ifndef with a config that seemed like this exact use-case. Given that
config solved the problem it seemed like the cleanest solution.
