cd-gpios = ....
should be enough to block other devices from claiming a pinmux (pinctrl-N = ...)
on the same pin, or vice versa, whichever claimed it first in kernel space.
Same goes for a pin already claimed by a device through a pinmux. It should
not be claimable as a gpio through the sysfs interface.

Cool. Please mention this in the commit log, as in they are the only
possible choice.S ince they are the only choices, please drop the @0
in the node name.
And you might want to rename mmc2_pins to something like
"mmc2_8bit_pins: mmc2_8bit". Who knows, someone might consider using
it for an SD card or SDIO, and the remaining pins for something else.

A bit of context here. This was changed _after_ the A64 patches were
pulled into arm-soc, by the arm-soc maintainers, to avoid ugly cross
tree merges. The idea was to change them back after -rc1. I don't know
if a patch to do that is ready though.

The dt-bindings related header files are split into a separate directory.
They are also included in the separate devicetree repository:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/devicetree/devicetree-rebasing.git/
And no, I don't think it implies that it's fine to change it. The
include/dt-bindings/ subdirectory is part of the device tree bindings,
just like Documentation/devicetree/bindings. Does the latter give the
impression that it is fine to change it, because it's in the docs?

For me, it makes it much easier to review, than say a plain number,
which I would have to dig through some file, probably the clock driver,
to check if it matches.
