[PATCH 0/3] ARM: dts: Mark SDIO as non-removable for Exynos Chromebooks

Hello,

The Exynos based Chromebooks have a Marvell WiFi SDIO chip which is always
present and cannot be detected. The mmc device node is marked as broken-cd
since that property is used in the vendor tree instead of non-removable.

This causes the device to be removed when the system enteres into a suspend
gettings the following warning when the system is resumed:

[  181.944636] mmc2: error -2 during resume (card was removed?)

The rationale for that is explained in commit [0] and it was that using the
non-removable property caused issues with the driver whose reset logic used
the mmc_{remove,add}_host() functions.

But the reset logic in the mwifiex mainline driver has changed and this is
longer the case so it's safe to use non-removable. This series changes the
Snow, Peach Pi and Peach Pit boards to use the correct DT property.

To test, I've cherry picked commit [1] from the vendor tree that adds a
debugfs entry to force a card reset and after the reset, WiFi rescanning works
the card gets connected to an AP and works correctly:

$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/mwifiex/mlan0/reset

I don't have access to a Snow anymore so testing patch 3/3 on that board will
be appreciated.
