Do we need to differentiate between MMC and SD here and for the voltage
below? There seems to be the magic number VOLTAGE_WINDOW_MMC /
VOLTAGE_WINDOW_SD here, which I have set to MMC in the Ux500 case above.
The other platforms have it set to VOLTAGE_WINDOW_SD...

If I'm reading this correctly this voltage is sent to the card to let
it pick the preferred voltage, but it doesn't look like U-Boot is
designed to act on that signal...

Thanks,
