Well, my point is that it's more understandable about having a broken
HPI implementation for eMMC cards, but for host controllers I am not
so sure.

I don't think there is an electrical change required by the host
controller to support HPI, is just like any other command, right?
Unless I am missing something, of course.

Kind regards
