This patch series based on the suggestion of Scott Branden to implement
bcm2835 support into sdhci-iproc [1].

These changes provide the following advantages:
  * no need to maintain a separate driver for bcm2835
  * improve support and test coverage of bcm2835 mmc support
  * get the rid of SDHCI_CAPABILITIES hack in bcm2835_sdhci_readl
  * increase write performance by avoiding delays in write ops

Patch 1 prepare sdhci-iproc for another platform. Patch 2 and 3
are the actually changes for bcm2835 support.

These series has been tested on Raspberry Pi B with dd (direct I/O):

sdhci-bcm2835

378 kB/s WRITE
10,6 MB/s READ

sdhci-iproc (after applying patch series)

881 kB/s WRITE
10,8 MB/s READ

Changes since RFC:
  * drop patch which tries to add quirks for bcm2835 in DT and define all
    quirks in driver instead to keep old DTs working with sdhci-iproc
    (suggestion by Stephen Warren)
  * define MMC caps in shdci-iproc platform data to make adding new
    platforms more easily (suggestion by Stephen Warren)
