The support for the mshc alias has long been deprecated[1], as the mmc core
already provides standard alias support for obtaining the controller ID[2].
With mshc aliases removed from the last Rk3036 plaform[3], the only remaining
users are the HiSilicon hi3660-hikey960 and hi3670-hikey970 boards. This patch
series removes support for mshc from the dwmmc driver and updates the DTS files
for the hi3660-hikey960 and hi3670-hikey970 to use the standard mmc alias instead.
Considering that the hikey960 and hikey970 are open development boards, users are
expected to use newer kernels, and the need to adapt old DTBs to new kernels is
relatively low. Therefore, backward compatibility of DTBs is likely not a major
concern here.
