We don't do mmc aliases in the upstream DTs. Long story, but you should
not need them. I guess you want to disagree ;-), in this case U-Boot has
you covered, by adding the aliases during build time: just use
$fdtcontroladdr, as you should do anyway.

That line is already in the .dtsi file, so redundant.

If we really need this comment, it should be above, right after the
"&mmc0 {". And I wonder if it should be "microSD" instead.

Either you just keep the comment, an mention mmc1, but don't reference the
node, or you add the properties that you know of already, like
vmmc-supply, vqmmc-supply, mmc-pwrseq, bus-width, non-removable.
But this "empty reference with a comment" is somewhat odd.

Are you sure you need that?

Please move that comment up.

Why is this always on? What happens if you remove that line or turn it off?
For always-on regulators we either need a comment saying why, or, better,
have an explanatory regulator-name (like above).
Is that for DRAM, by any chance (1.5V for DDR3 chips)?

Cheers,
Andre
