Recent Linux versions refuse to print actual virtual kernel addresses,
to not give a hint about the location of the kernel in a randomized virtual
address space. This affects the output of the sunxi MMC controller
driver, which now produces the rather uninformative line:

[    1.482660] sunxi-mmc 1c0f000.mmc: base:0x(____ptrval____) irq:8

Since the virtual base address is not really interesting in the first
place, let's just drop this value. We have the physical address as part
of the DT node name, which is way more useful for debugging purposes.

Can't we just remove it? It doesn't look like it brings much value anyway.

Yes, the IRQ value is the virtual Linux number, so equally
non-informative. But this line is the only info message left from the
mmc driver, so since we have scary "deferring probe" messages before,
I'd rather leave this "success!" message in, to help debugging:
# dmesg | grep mmc

We could just say something like: "initialized.". It would be even more
useful if we could print the type of MMC: SD card, SDIO, eMMC, but apart
from eMMC vs. MMC0/1 for the A64 we don't have this information (not
even the index number) at this level, I think.

Cheers,
Andre.
