I have at least one boards which uses it: Endless Mini (EC-100)
the SoC itself has two MMC controllers, but that board has:
- an eMMC module (connected to a yet unsupported MMC controller)
- an internal SD card (connected to the SDIO controller from this patch)
- a RTL8723BS wifi SDIO card (also connected to the SDIO controller
from this patch)

so it's pretty rare - but such hardware exists.

Martin
