Because I'm not the one who introduced this part of the driver DT
binding. It has been added two years ago by:

commit b650352dd3df36164e3427bff3f33bc06ac47642
Author: Chris Ball <cjb at laptop.org>
Date:   Tue Apr 10 22:34:33 2012 -0400

    mmc: sdhci-pxa: Add device tree support
    
    Tested on an OLPC XO-1.75.  (MMP2, sdhci-pxav3, CONFIG_MACH_MMP2_DT=y)
    
    Signed-off-by: Chris Ball <cjb at laptop.org>
    Acked-by: Haojian Zhuang <haojian.zhuang at gmail.com>

So I'm just merely using the existing DT binding for the driver. Of
course, since I'm introducing a new compatible string, I could also
change the driver to support the same property prefixed by "marvell,",
but it would also have to support the old DT property forever, so is it
really useful?

Best regards,

Thomas
