You don't have to mention reg/interrupts, because they're already
covered in mmc.txt.

power-gpio should be "power-gpios" (even though there's only one), and
power_always_enb should use hyphens instead of underscores, but I have
a more fundamental request:

You should use a fixed regulator instead of this power-gpio hack.
It's easy to hook up a fixed regulator to a gpio:

        vmmc1: fixedregulator at 0 {
                compatible = "regulator-fixed";
                regulator-name = "fixed-supply";
                regulator-min-microvolt = <1800000>;
                regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;
                gpio = <&gpio1 16 0>;
                startup-delay-us = <70000>;
                vin-supply = <&parent_reg>;
        };

and then you can encode the regulator inside your SD host:

	sdhci at fc000000 {
		compatible = "st,spear300-sdhci";
		reg = <0xfc000000 0x1000>;
		cd-gpios = <&gpio0 6 0>;
		vmmc-supply = <&vmmc1>;
	};

and the MMC core will take care of making sure that it's powered up
only when needed.  What do you think?

Thanks,

- Chris.
