Hi, Mihai,

I'm replying to this series as the description is still better to me than
the one from v4, but, few notes:

In schematic at [1] (for SDMMC0 at least) I see VDDSDHC could be either 1v8
or 3v3 and is selected by SDMMC_VDDSEL signal. Maybe update the description
to reflect the this.

Ok, it has support as you mentioned in one of the replies to v1.

But it is still not clear enough for me why you want to keep it at 3v3.
Maybe it would have been clearer if you kept the statement from your reply
to v1:

"On the SAMA5 MPUs there is support for IO voltage switching but since we
have issues with the tuning procedure required but the UHS cards,
we want to keep vqmmc at 3V3 in order to use high-speed mode"

Thank you,
Claudiu Beznea
