CDD: Pre-installed system apps may write to secondary ext. storage
Section: 7.6.2. Application Shared Storage
Clarify that pre-installed system previliged apps, for example the
default out-of-box photo gallery app, may have write access to the
secondary external storage.
The original language may be misunderstood that, even pre-installed
Android applications that functions as a core function of the platform
MUST NOT be allowed from having write-access to the secondary external
storage.
