As for I2C and SPI, it now is possible to reserve a fixed index for
mmc/mmcblk devices.

This will break if we improve schemas because this node is actually 
/example-1/aliases.

So please drop. If you want, I'd really like to have a defined set (i.e. 
a schema) of alias names. This would require deleting a bunch on some 
platforms that just made up a bunch of them.

Ulf suggested that I add some kind of documentation about the new mmc
alias support to the binding docs.

As long as we don't have a proper schema for aliases, should I just add
an explanation to the toplevel description of
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/mmc-controller.yaml, or maybe a
comment?

I would prefer to add an explanation in the toplevel description,
although I have no strong opinion.

This is similar to what we already do for serial devices, see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/serial.yaml.
