I don't see any 1.8V supply on the connector. There are 1.8V IOs and you 
may need something in DT to ensure those are powered. However, there's 
no guarantee that it's a single supply.

I think I already said this, but multiple endpoints are generally for 
something that's muxed. Looking at the connector pinout, PCIe and SDIO 
are not muxed. So these 2 should be 2 port nodes.

And UART and USB are not muxed either.

Move out of 'ports'.

What about SDIO and UART WAKE, SDIO RESET, and vendor defined signals?
