[PATCH v2 1/2] sdhci-of-arasan: Modify arasan sdhci documentation about broken-cd and non-removable properties.

The sdhci controller on xilinx zynq devices will not function unless
the CD bit is provided. http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/61064.html
In cases where it is impossible to provide the CD bit in hardware,
setting the controller to test mode and then setting inserted to true
will get the controller to function without the CD bit.

Additionally in some situations it will make sense to use the
"broken-cd" and "non-removable" property together.
i.e the sd device is non-removable so polling doesn't make sense, but
the CD is broken and the controller will need to be in test mode to
function.

This patch modifies the documentation to reflect those differences
from the standard behaviours.
