In this case, I assume that the driver for the HW has custom code to
read the MMC controller's CD register bit, and hence it knows whether
the HW inverts it, and hence we don't need a property in DT to say so;
the driver will simply read the bit, invert it, and return it all
transparently? After all, the inversion isn't board-specific but IP
block specific.
