Thank you for explaining that the purpose of the pull-up DT property
was for PHY debug.

I will plan to remove the pull-up DT property in the next version of
this patch series and remove sdhci_phy_1_8v_init_no_pull() and
sdhci_phy_3_3v_init_no_pull() from my sdhci-of-dwcmshc.c patch.

I will make th1520_phy_1_8v_init() and th1520_phy_3_3v_init() always
set WEAKPULL_EN = 1 (PULLUP) for CMDPAD_CNFG, DATAPAD_CNFG, RSTNPAD_CNFG
and set WEAKPULL_EN = 2 (PULLDOWN) for STBPAD_CNFG.

Thanks,
Drew
