After some hunting it seems like the recent Qualcomm platforms are
suffering from this as well.

Should one interpret your answer as that iff the SDHCI controller
actually follows the specification (and provides the power control)
then as of the introduction of 52221610dd vmmc should no longer be
used for specifying the supply of power to the controller?

Or simply; what is vmmc (in the code) supposed to represent?
