I don't see an external pull-up or pull-down in the schematic. I'm not
sure what the recommended practice is; should we have a pull direction
set in the SoC's pin controller in these cases, or leave it floating?

Any reason why we reduce this from the 150000000 in the SoC .dtsi?
Using the frequency the SoC .dtsi uses seems to work for me on the
ROCK 2A:

[ 0.347556] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 400000Hz (slot req 400000Hz, actual 400000HZ div = 0)
[ 0.547362] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 148500000Hz (slot req 150000000Hz, actual 148500000HZ div = 0)
[ 0.814405] dwmmc_rockchip ffc30000.mmc: Successfully tuned phase to 248

Same concern as with wifi-reg-on-h, there's no external pull resistor
in the schematic.

Other than the indicated comments,

Reviewed-by: Nicolas Frattaroli <nicolas.frattaroli@collabora.com>

ensured the pinctrls were correct, checked that they correspond to the
GPIOs being used in the devices associated with them. Also checked the
rock 2a schematic to verify that the vccio_sd switching setup is
correct, i.e. that high is indeed 3.3V and low is 1.8V.

And:

Tested-by: Nicolas Frattaroli <nicolas.frattaroli@collabora.com>

test-booted on a ROCK 2A, tested that SD card shows up, made sure
ethernet works as well, also ensured that the adc key works.
