Write protect is additional interface related with SD socket.
WP switch appears in SD standard size card.
In case EMMC/SDIO spec, there is no mentions about this WP pin.
As you mentioned above, that's why 'ger_ro' is called only in sd path(mmc/core/sd.c).
So, I meant that we don't need to consider WP pin status about non-SD type.

Such as exynos5250, there is no exposed interface from host controller for write protection pin.
In that case, if general gpio pin is connected like your board environment, we can define wp-gpio.
Otherwise, 'broken-internal-wp' property will be good solution.

Please feel free to modify.
If you will do, I'll be happy.
