I have been confused with this comment.
(I know it came from the original Intel code, not from Ben.)

If this comment is true,

the condition above must be wrong since 'flags & MMC_UHS2_SUPPORT'
is one of capabilities for a host controller, not a card
while the selection of voltage depends on a card type.

So I wonder why this code still works.
I guess that it is because set_signal_voltage(), or other variant functions,
will never be called for UHS-II cards under the current implementation.

Looking at mmc_sd_init_card(), we have added some hack:
mmc_sd_init_card()
{
...
/* For UHS2, skip the UHS-I initialization. */
if ((host->flags & MMC_UHS2_SUPPORT) &&
(host->flags & MMC_UHS2_INITIALIZED))
goto done;
...
if (mmc_sd_card_using_v18(card)) {
if (mmc_host_set_uhs_voltage(host) ||
mmc_sd_init_uhs_card(card)) {
...
}

Ben, can you confirm this?
(There is another callsite of mmc_host_set_uhs_voltage() though.)

What I meant by my previous comment is that we don't have to
call any function, sdhci_uhs2_start_signal_voltage_switch in above example,
for UHS-II cards in any case since it is always simply empty.
