I've reported this to the new FAE at TI, let's see how quickly relevant
people at TI could look into it... I unfortunately don't have access to
AM62A7 HW, but I've re-tested SD card on our AM623-based HW and I see no
issues under Linux.

Thanks for checking this!
I'm curious: is it only U-Boot issue? Does the card work properly if you
still have ST enabled in Linux?

I'm a bit hesitatnt to revert the ST on these (or any other) pins without
understanding what's going on in HW, because from all our discussions with
TI we've concluded that ST shall be used on all pins without any drawbacks.

Getting this back to TI will also help them to figure out the HW requirements
and document them better.

I'll keep you informed, shall I have any new info...
