Standard SD/SDIO cards only support 2.7-3.6V.

1.8V operation is added in SD physical spec 3.00 and is part of any of
the UHS-1 modes (SDR12-SDR104 and DDR50).  It has a different timings
and requires a different (3.00 compliant) host controller.

The SD/SDIO stack must ignore reserved bits unless a per-card quirk
gives an additional meaning to the reserved bit.

The non-simplified documents don't say anything on this.
