Correct, I'm on i.MX6 and using sdhci-esdhc-imx.

The hardware guys told me that the eMMC chip get's its power from the
i.MX6, there are connections NVCC_SD1...NVCC_SD3 which are directly
connected to 3V3, not to some PMIC. When I read the docs correctly, this
means that the SDHCI related I/O lines of the i.MX6 are therefore tied
to 3.3V only, because of this NVCC_SDx power domain.
And on the eMMC schematic page, the signals VCC and VCCQ ("DQ Power") of
the eMMC are also tied directly to 3.3V.
Therefore I assume that the hardware itself cannot provide 1.8V and I
added this "knowledge" to the Device Tree.
Two questions:
* should I propose a patch that reads theno-1-8-v setting from DT and
removes the announcement of MMC_CAP_1_8V_DDR ?
* isn't MMC_CAP_3_3V_DDR superfluous, because it must any implementation
must support 3.3V (I'm not too much into the standard ...).
