Hi Marcin,

> A recent switch to a dedicated AP807 compatible string for the Xenon
> SD/MMC controller result in the driver not being probed when
> using updated device tree with the older kernel revisions.
> It may also be problematic for other OSs/firmware that use
> Linux device tree sources as a reference. Resolve the problem
> with backward compatibility by restoring a previous compatible
> string as secondary one.

Gregory
