Sure, good idea. Do you think the below would be sufficient?
sdhci@d8000 {
    pinctrl-names = "default";
    pinctrl-0 = <&sdhci_pins>;
    no-1-8-v;
    /*
     * A388-GP board v1.5 and higher replace
     * hitherto card detection method based on GPIO
     * with the one using DAT3 pin. As they are
     * incompatible, software-based polling is
     * enabled with 'broken-cd' property. For boards
     * older than v1.5 it can be replaced with:
     * 'cd-gpios = <&expander0 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;',
     * whereas for the newer ones following can be
     * used instead:
     * 'dat3-cd;'
     * 'cd-inverted;'
     */
broken-cd;
wp-inverted;
bus-width = <8>;
status = "okay";
};

Best regards,
Marcin
