RE: [PATCH v2] mmc: Add support for JMicron 388 SD/MMC controller

["Aries Lee" <arieslee@jmicron.com>]

Dear All

JMicron 388 support the new generation SD card with Ultra-High speed
feature.
it have to run under 1.8V in this feature, that mean the capability of host
is claimed to support both 1.8V and 3.3V, but the 1.8V and 3.3V is only for
SD part, it is always 3.3V for MMC part.

In MMC-mobile card, the capability of the card is claimed as supporting both
1.8V and 3.3V, so in card initialization, the driver will choose 1.8V
because both host and card are claimed to support. Then lead to wrong
situation because acturally the 1.8V of host is claimed for UHS SD card, it
MUST be 3.3V for MMC card.

This patch rectified the error case of JMicron 388 host.

Thanks

I guess Aries can answer to these at best :)
1.8V case was tested mainly by him.
