So you want to make the code conform to the common spec which has
bus-width as a required property. Is this really worth it to add an
incompatible change to our devicetrees?
I do want to have our implementation conform to common spec.  At the
current stage devicetrees are not stable anyway, so we should make
them right as much as possible before they start getting maintained
separately from kernel tree, where we will be asked to maintain
devicetree compatibility a lot harder.
Ok, how about this:

- I add a bus-width = <4> property to all i.MX dtsi files
- we merge the patch adding bus-width as an optional property
- Make the bus-width option mandatory in the next step.

This way we can merge the mmc related patches through the mmc tree and
the dts changes through arm-soc.
