My opinion would be that we revert the commit 8d86e4f for v4.2, as it's
so broken.

So this is a device tree ABI breakage.  All the existing DTBs already
installed on devices will be broken with the new kernel.  You can argue
that the device trees are buggy and we're fixing bugs.  But if a bugfix
breaks things, we should be conservative.  Here is my suggestion:

1. Revert commit 8d86e4f for v4.2
2. I queue up your dts fixing series for v4.2
3. Keep things as they are for a few releases and then consider to move
   to mmc_of_parse() with the hope that those buggy DTBs have been
   upgraded during that period.
