On the X96QPro+ TV box, the eMMC wasn't working properly: the chip would
be detected, but most requests failed, leaving it unusable. Some
"solutions" were circulating downstream, one "popular" one is severely
limiting the clock frequency, with a drastic performance impact.
Instead slightly bumping the I/O voltage on PortC from the canonical
1.8V to 1.9V seemed to do the trick: the eMMC now works and reaches the
expected 120MB/s performance.
Adjust the respective regulator voltage in the .dts to enable eMMC
operation on that device.

Hi,
I am not super happy with this patch, but it seems to be a pragmatic and
the least hacky solution I have seen.
Cheers,
Andre
