Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: khadas-vim4: allow the SD card to be power cycled
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 20:11:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818191159.11523-3-tanure@linux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818191159.11523-1-tanure@linux.com>

SD cards start at 3.3V and switch to 1.8V to reach UHS-I speeds. Some
cards refuse that switch, and the SD specification says the only way
to recover is to power the card off and start again.

SD_3V3 is marked regulator-always-on, so the supply never goes off,
the card stays stuck half way through the switch, and the MMC core
retries forever:

  mmc1: error -95 whilst initialising SD card

Drop regulator-always-on. regulator-boot-on still turns the supply on
at boot, and a card that refuses the switch now falls back to high
speed instead of failing to initialise.
