Ok, I think I got it. It is indeed not linked to DDR, but a more trivial mistake.
It looks like a writel went AWOL during the final rebase (and after the test campaign).

in meson_mmc_set_ios, after:
val |= FIELD_PREP(CFG_BUS_WIDTH_MASK, bus_width);

Could you try adding
writel(val, host->regs + SD_EMMC_CFG);

Without this, the bus width is not changed, which explains why eMMC, SD and SDIO fail
on init.

Let me know if this helps.
