Hmm, from a mmc driver probe point of view, I don't quite share this approach.

I would rather fail as it forces the DTB to be corrected immediately,
rather than trusting some developer to look at a warning in a log. The
point is, in such a case it may never get fixed, if the product is
shipped with the wrong DTB.

My concern at this point is rather to break existing DTBs, but it
seems that should not be an issue, right?

Kind regards
