This change only means that the regulator no longer gets cycled when
it probes. It's not a proper fix. You're leaving the kernel without
any control over SD card power, and with whatever state the bootloader
left the GPIO in. If the bootloader left the GPIO low, then you don't
get to use the SD card, ever.

It cycles because of the lack of regulator-boot-on, so the driver
requests the GPIO with initial low state, and then drives it
high to enable the regulator.

I think dropping "regulator-always-on" so that Linux can cycle power
and properly reset the SD card is the proper fix to the card being
stuck in UHS and not responding.

Also, the regulator used is RT9193, according to the schematics. That
chip has an enable delay under 50 micro-seconds. If that needs to be
modeled, then add regulator-enable-ramp-delay.
