According to the Linux MMC controller DT schema, there are actually two ways to 
implement cd and wp lines [1]. When implementing the imx8mp-evk board, I 
thought I would need to model the GPIO style [2], hence I implemented it plus 
the active low part on the SD card. Later I noticed that the card gets detected 
anyway without the GPIO wiring, so I'm fine if the code gets removed instead.

Best regards,
Bernhard
