I guess the this happens then also at system resume?

The core tries first with 3.3 then if it fails, it continues with 1.8V, etc.

Seems like SDHCI_SIGNALING_330 should not be set, unless 3.3V I/O is
supported. That should avoid SDHCI from trying and instead just
returning an error code immediately.

This seems like a generic issues for all SDHCI variant drivers.
