I gave it a spin on one of our Qualcomm 8974 based devices and writing
BIT(0) only seems to be enough.

I'm somewhat puzzled to what benefit 52221610d brings after bringing
back the write of BIT(0). Is it just that we don't hit the BUG() on
non-standard voltages?

The full paragraph regarding BIT(0) reads:

Before setting this bit, the SD Host Driver shall set SD Bus Voltage
Select. If the
Host Controller detects the No Card state, this bit shall be cleared.
If this bit is cleared, the Host Controller shall immediately stop
driving CMD and
DAT[3:0] (tri-state) and drive SDCLK to low level (Refer to Section 2.2.14).

So the Qualcomm HW engineers implemented the last "shall", but if
someone else (what did nvidia do here?) also implemented the first
"shall"s then we're back at needing a full revert of 52221610d.

Non-the-less, feel free to propose a patch and I will give it a test.

Regards,
Bjorn
