Yes, this is mostly right. However, you need to add 2 properties to
your PSC6 [EMAIL PROTECTED] node; '#address-cells = <1>;' and '#size-cells =
<0>;'
These are needed so that the device tree code knows how to interpret the
address of the child node.
For the [EMAIL PROTECTED] node, you need to remove the linux,modalias property.
That method of describing the device is strongly discouraged. Instead,
add a property 'compatible = "mmc-spi";' and 'reg = <0>;'. Compatible
is the property used to bind to the device and reg gives the device
address (which is 0 since you only have one device wired to the SPI
bus).
Unfortunately, you'll need to hack around a bit with binding code.
Support for MMC devices described in the device tree has not yet been
merged, so some of this stuff is up in the air. However, as long as you
get the device tree description correct now you should be insulated from
changes in this area.
Take a look at this thread for more details:

Poke around in /sys/bus/of_platform/devices/. See if anything shows up
there.
