This is a matter of configuring the internal logic of the primecell to which signals it shall use. That will be depending on what signal connectors there are available on the external voltage level shifter circuit and how you have routed these to the primecell. The signals are used to introduce a delta delay between the external level shifter drive enable and internal IO drive enable. It's needed to be able to cope with the electrical parts of the SD card specification.
