The async interrupt is what we refer to as SDIO irqs, which is being
delivered on DAT1.

Okay.

I guess it's the similar variant of the controller for all slots then.

It can be debated whether the proper thing is to set "cap-sdio-irq"
only for the SDIO card slot. I think so, (and it's already being used
like that) if there is an embedded SDIO card attached, because
cap-sdio-irq would not make sense otherwise.

If you really need a new DT property (let's discuss that more in patch
4/6), I suggest you add something along the lines of a
"broken-auto-tuning" DT property instead, because that is in principle
what this should be about, isn't it?

Kind regards
