I didn't know how exynos5420-peach-pit's circuit is configured.
But i guess that almost all exynos5 boards are configured with the similar circuit.

At Almost all Exynos5 board, CD-pin is used, but not included in Same power domain.
(CD-pin is external card-detect pin. - like XEINT_# pin)
You mentioned CD# and DATA# lines is used the same power domain, right?
In Circuit (not exynos5420-peach-pit), DATA# line and CMD/CLK(vqmmc) is same power supply, and vdd is used other power supply.
Not use the CD# pin, used the XEINT_# pin.
So i think we don't need to consider the CD#.
If exynos5420-peach-pit board is used the CD#-pin, then our discussion can be changed.
Your commit message looks like all exynos5250/5420 board are used CD# line.

It is used with XEINT_# pin instead of CD# pin.
As i mentioned above, if exynos5420-peach-pit is used CD# line and not used XEINT_# pin,
my point is meaningless. :)

Is exynos5420-peach-pit board used with CD#pin, not XEINT_# pin?
