Thank you for the response!
I had a quick look over this patch, I need to find a way to adapt it
for RPi 3, as vmmc-supply , reg_3v3, vqmmc-supply, reg_1v8 are not
configured for rpi 3 (they exist only for CM1 and CM3 as I have seen
in the device tree sources).
I don't know if there are any implications if I use those nodes
similar to CM3 (don't know the differences between 3 and CM3).
Best regards,
Vali.
