I just retested to be sure: At least with 5.11.11 and on my boards,
cd-gpio ACTIVE_LOW being specified in the sopine.dtsi takes precedence
over broken-cd being specified in pine64-lts.dts. Could that spoil the
plan of disabling cd-gpio for the LTS while leaving it enabled for
Sopine and baseboard?

Behaviour is as such: With cd-gpios ACTIVE_LOW in sopine.dtsi and
broken-cd in pine64-lts.dts, card insertion, removal and reinsertion is
not detected after booting the kernel without a card in the slot. With
cd-gpios ACTIVE_LOW removed from sopine.dtsi it starts working.

In diffs for added clarity:

Correct. Again for reasons of laziness I tested with the dts from
5.11.11 which is currently running on the board and which still has
ACTIVE_LOW in sopine.dtsi. Sorry for not being clearer about that.

But somewhat lucky as well because without ACTIVE_LOW still being set in
sopine.dtsi I wouldn't have had a way to tell that broken-cd was not
taking effect and silently have tested the working ACTIVE_HIGH
definition from sopine.dtsi.

Or am I somehow making a mess of this?

Of course not. My boards have their rootfs on mmc0, so the card is never
removed and replaced during operation anyway. I was just asking out of
curiosity.

And out of curiosity again: Could one have a device tree overlay
configured manually to be loaded by the bootloader that adds cd-gpio
ACTIVE_HIGH for mmc0 and disables/overrules broken-cd? Somewhat like so
(untested):

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

#include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>

/ {
        fragment@0 {
                target = <&mmc0>;
                __overlay__ {
                        cd-gpios = <&pio 5 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* PF6 push-push switch */
                };
        };
};

Here it would be useful if cd-gpios indeed took precedence over
broken-cd because my grepping of the code can't find a way to un-specify
it once set.
