As commit b6147490e6aa ("mmc: tmio: split core functionality, DMA and
MFD glue") said, these MMC controllers use the IP from Panasonic.

TMIO (Toshiba Mobile IO) MMC was the first upstreamed user of this IP.
The common driver code was split and expanded as 'tmio-mmc-core', then
it become historical misnomer since 'tmio' is not the name of this IP
in the first place.

In the discussion [1], we decide to keep calling these MMC variants
'TMIO MMC' at least in Linux driver level because renaming all of them
is a big churn.

However, DT should not be oriented to a particular project even though
it is developed in Linux communities.

Let's stop exporting this unfortunate things to other projects, where
there is no good reason to call this "TMIO". Rename the file to
renesas_sdhi.txt. In fact, all the information in this file is specific
to the Renesas platform.

This commit also removes the first paragraph entirely. The DT-binding
should describe the hardware. It is really strange to talk about Linux
driver internals such as how the drivers are probed, how platform data
are handed off, etc.

I sent this before, but it was dismissed somehow.
I am resending this.

Hi Yamada-san,

I for one am fine with this change.

My minor nit is that I think that renesas,sdhi.txt would be a slightly
better filename in terms of consistency with other renesas bindings
documentation filenames.
