That is how the board is routed. Which means the only use for
vqmmc-supply is the driver will know that it can only do 3.3V,
i.e. voltage sensing.

It is the reason I requested Olimex to look into this. Allwinner
reference designs all tie vqmmc directly to 3.3V.

Actually with the latest driver patches, this is not even needed. To
make the driver backward compatible, if no vqmmc-supply is given, it
just assumes 3.3V signaling.
