[PATCH resend v3 1/2] dt: bindings: mmc: Add sdio function subnode documentation

From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer at pengutronix.de>

While SDIO devices are runtime probable they sometimes need nonprobable
additional information on embedded systems, like an additional gpio
interrupt or a clock. This binding describes how to add child nodes to the
devicetree to supply this information.

+Use of Function subnodes
+------------------------
+
+On embedded systems the cards connected to a host may need additional
+properties. These can be specified in subnodes to the host controller node.
+The subnodes are identified by the standard 'reg' property.
+Which information exactly can be specified depends on the bindings for the
+SDIO function driver for the subnode, as specified by the compatible string.
+
+Required host node properties when using function subnodes:
+- #address-cells: should be one. The cell is the slot id.
+- #size-cells: should be zero.
+
+Required function subnode properties:
+- compatible: name of SDIO function following generic names recommended practice
+- reg: Must contain the SDIO function number of the function this subnode
+       describes. A value of 0 denotes the memory SD function, values from
+       1 to 7 denote the SDIO functions.
+
+
