This property is introduced to solve a slightly different issue. The
thing is that supplying a fixed voltage SDHCI controller from a variable
regulator is still a valid configuration. Which means that testing the
capabilities of the regulator doesn't actually describe the SDHCI
controller itself.

In practice this property is used to communicate whether pad
reconfiguration and voltage switching needs to be performed or not. This
cannot be determined from the absence or presence of the pinctrl
properties either because they naturally won't be there on older dtbs.

The logic behind this goes like this: if this property is present,
there's no need to perform pad or regulator reconfiguration and UHS
modes can be enabled. If this property is missing then valid pinctrl and
regulator properties are required to enable UHS signaling. This is
implemented in tegra_sdhci_is_uhs_valid() in "[PATCH v2 03/10] mmc:
tegra: Reconfigure pad voltages during voltage switching"
