Hi,
I'm not really happy with this approach. It's not that upstream doesn't have aliases now, it's that it has different aliases, right? That's why they won't accept these?
imx6q.dtsi does have the default mmc aliases:
mmc0 = &usdhc1; mmc1 = &usdhc2; mmc2 = &usdhc3; mmc3 = &usdhc4;
Upstream does not want to change mmc alias because users may rely on this mmc aliases.
This thread seems to be another reason *not* to put any aliases into a common dtsi file. They are board specific and should really go into the board dts.
