True, I misunderstood the use of 'non-removable'. So I guess I could use 'broken-cd' 
property instead, right?

Because the CD line cannot cause an interrupt in this controller.

No. CD polling relies on the status register. The field CARD_DETECT in HW_SSP_STATUS 
register directly reflects the state of the SSP_DETECT input pin. If the pin is not 
connected it can have any value, so I guess we need a custom flag on the driver:
