Are you speaking of the 1.8V signalling modes? As far as I know the
IMX SDHC controller will switch the voltage by its own function pin.
That is, its not a GPIO.
Ah, I mixed things up here. This is a fixed 1.8V supply, which is valid
for eMMC, so the high-speed modes are available. My comment still
applies that this should be fixed by constraining the regulator, not by
removing the DT connection.
vqmmc is the MMC IO voltage, which can be switched either by the
function pin, which gets toggled automatically when software does the
voltage switch, or by explicitly switching the regulator voltage. eMMCs
are a bit special as they can work with a fixed 1.8V IO supply and
don't need to start with 3.3V.
Mh, I have some kind of general question though.
Lets take the SDHC controller for the SD card, which needs to change
the voltage if you want to use the high speed mode of the cards. Ie.
from 3.3V to 1.8V. The controller does this autonomously with the help
of a pin which is controlled by the controller itself. Will it have a
vqmmc-supply property? And if so what whould the supply be?
