Hi!

I noticed that arch/arc/boot/dts/axs10x_mb.dtsi uses "altr," prefix in
the DT compatible string:

mmc@0x15000 {
        compatible = "altr,socfpga-dw-mshc";
        reg = < 0x15000 0x400 >;
        num-slots = < 1 >;
        fifo-depth = < 16 >;
        card-detect-delay = < 200 >;
        clocks = <&apbclk>, <&mmcclk>;
        clock-names = "biu", "ciu";
        interrupts = < 7 >;
        bus-width = < 4 >;
};

I don't think this is OK, since ARC is unrelated to Altera, which is
what the "altr," prefix stands for. I think the socfpga-dw-mshc shim
should be extended with another compatibility string, something like
"snps,arc-dw-mshc" and the axs10x_mb.dtsi should be adjusted
accordingly. What do you think ?
There is "snps,dw-mshc" described in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/synopsys-dw-mshc.txt and supported by
dw_mmc host controller driver.
Thanks, that's even better.

btw what do you think of using altr, prefix on non-altera system, that
doesn't seem ok, right ?
according to ePAPR the prefix should represent a device (IP block here
I believe) manufacturer, so it should be okay to use "altr" prefix on
non-Altera system, if Altera provides  another hardware vendor with
some own IP block.

That said, I would rather prefer to see "snps,dw-mshc" prefix on description
of an MMC controller found on SoCFPGA series, "altr,socfpga-dw-mshc" seems
to be redundant.
