Given that MMC starts in open-drain mode and the pull-ups are required,
it's best to enable it for all the pin settings.

It's even more complicated than that with MMC. It starts in open-drain mode for CMD during initialization but changes to push-pull afterwards. The card has internal pull-ups to prevent bus floating during setup and will disable them
after switching to 4bit mode (or 8bit for eMMC when available).
But even after switching to push-pull drivers there are states the bus would
float and pull ups have to ensure a high level on the bus.

See JESD84-A441 chapter 7.15 ff as reference.

The difference between the P-bit and Z-bit is that a P-bit is actively driven to HIGH by the card respectively host output driver, while Z-bit is driven to (respectively kept) HIGH by the pull-up resistors Rcmd respectively Rdat.


Enabling the pull ups on the CPU would be the right choice considering that most boards will not have external pull-ups. Even if they would have one,
adding the internal in parallel would work in almost all cases and the
increase in power consumption would be negligible.

Cheers,
Klaus
