The Problem:
On ASUS Tinker Board S, when booting from the eMMC, and there is no
card sd slot, then there are constant errors.
Cause:
Thanks must go to Robin Murphy @ ARM for idenifying the problem. The
rk808 on the Tinker Board and Tinker Board S has many regulators, one
vccio_sd powers the IO for the sd card. Unfortunatly this is also used
in the card detect. Now when no card is install, the regulator is
powered down. This means that the card detect floats, and this means
random card detection.
The Solution:
Make sure that the sd IO is always powered, this means card detection
is always active, which is what should be done on a board with an sd
slot, which both the Tinker Board and Tinker Board S are. Hence change
is made to the .dtsi which takes effect on all Tinker Boards as
required.
The change also adds "regulator-boot-on" the Tinker Board boot from
uboot, and the sd card is always one option. Hence the IO must be
powered in uboot, and so setting this flag.
Also removed is "disable-wp" the micro sd card which are used have no
write protection, so the concept doesn't mean anything, and the
Tinker Boards work without this. Hence it is removed to simply.
This change came from ArchLinux Arm, but we note it is the fix also
used by Armbian:

I think disable-wp correctly describes that wp is not expected to work and should not be removed.
From comment in mmc_sd_get_ro():
"Some systems don't feature a write-protect pin and don't need one.
E.g. because they only have micro-SD card slot. For those systems
assume that the SD card is always read-write."
Without disable-wp core will call dw_mci_get_ro() to get wp status.
This patch also fixes reboot when booting from sd-card and having emmc zeroed out.

Hi Jonas,
Thanks for testing - did you get an error with "disable-wp" ?
We tested this with @TheSaint On ArchLinux Arm, and it worked!
With the "regulator-boot-on" and on reboot, it should keep power on the
sd card - so reboot should work.
Regards,
David.
