I don't have the full history of the downstream, but I think there is
a schematic
issue or HW conception issue because I see an extra pin "MSDC1_INSI" (which
isn't part of MSDC IP) with VIO18 pull-up. That's why, I guess, VQMMC = VIO18
for MMC1. But since DVDD28_MSDC1 = VMC, VQMMC should be equal
to VMC.

The always-on will be removed.
