Why are these still different? Looking at the driver, it seems the settings are
the same for both. And for clock speeds, we have properties to control them as
they can be board specific.

The register base address of emmc and sd card are different.
eMMC and sdcard are individual hardware settings

When I looked at the previous version of the driver(s) that was
posted, I got the impression that you have some registers in the
controller that are specific for eMMC, SD or SDIO.

So, depending on how the controller is going to be used (for eMMC, SD
or SDIO) it's needs to be configured differently. Right?

If I got this right, I think you can instead use the existing common
DT properties, "no-sd", "no-sdio", "no-mmc" to explain how each
controller is configured.

Does this make sense to you?

Kind regards
Uffe
