Yes, that makes sense that this is not acceptable. The T-Head vendor
kernel seems to contain all the necessary information needed to add the
phy configuration to sdhci-of-dwcmshc.

The shipping kernel for the BeagleV Ahead [1] is based on the T-Head SDK
releases. I looked at changes to drivers/mmc and found that key changes
are from Linux_SDK_V0.9.5 [2] and Linux_SDK_V1.0.2 [3].

That kernel contains drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-of-dwcmshc.h [4] which seems
to define information about the phy registers. The version of
drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-of-dwcmshc.h in that kernel defines several
functions for the phy config and controller reset:

sdhci_phy_1_8v_init_no_pull
sdhci_phy_3_3v_init_no_pull
snps_phy_1_8v_init
snps_phy_3_3v_init
snps_sdhci_set_phy
snps_sdhci_reset

I'll look into adapting that code into the upstream sdhci-of-dwcmshc.

Thanks,
Drew
