Seungwon,

Thanks for the review.  See below for comments.  If you'd like me to
respin then please let me know.  Otherwise I look forward to your ack.

Right.  It is only checked right now by the SD code (mmc/core/sd.c).
It doesn't particularly hurt to set it the quirk in other cases though
and it seems nice not to add special cases.  I could imagine someone
extending the MMC code at some point to support write protect (via
GPIO) for eMMC, so there's even a slight justification for avoiding
the special case.

On _exynos_ all SD cards need this quirk if there is no wp-gpio
property.  However this is not generally true for all users of dw_mmc.
 The DesignWare IP Block actually has a write protect input that can
be read with "mci_readl(slot->host, WRTPRT)" but on exynos the
DesignWare write protect line isn't exposed on any physical pins.
That means that the only possible way to do write protect on exynos is
using a GPIO.

The above means that on exynos if the GPIO isn't defined we will
assume no write protect.  On other platforms if the GPIO isn't defined
we'll assume that the "mci_readl" will work and we'll use that.

If people would prefer it I can code up an alternate solution that
doesn't touch any exynos code but that would introduce a new device
tree binding.  We could accomplish what's needed for exynos using a
property like "broken-internal-wp".

Please let me know if you'd like me to submit a new patch with this
solution or if you like the existing solution.
