Yes.

Well, potentially those could be used like that.

The point of why we added them was to allow hosts that don't support
the different protocols (which is somewhat true for your case, because
of signal voltage issues) to tell the mmc core about it. That instead
of having to all kind of crazy hacks in the drives, that in then
didn't work out so well.
