Hi Aubin,
Thanks for your feedback.
I'll try my best to give clear explanations.

This has been observed on SAMA5D27.

For instance our board design has the PA13 (card detect) pin wired to drive a
3v3 power supply.
The fixed regulator driver configure this pin as output (described in the device
tree).
But what I observed is that the sdmmc driver still want to use PA13 as the card
detect signal which is then configured as an input. This cause the 3v3 power to
drop.
By "unknown behavior" I mean the configuration of this pin as card detect sets
unwanted electrical levels to what's connected to this pin.
