This is not a pin control thing, the I/O voltage level is usually
controlled by a regulator called VCCQ, if the selection of the
voltage rails is inside the pin control registers, see the solution
in drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/pfc-sh73a0.c where we simply provide
a regulator from inside the pinctrl driver to make things easy
for the MMC core. Do this thing!

If you don't have time to fix it up properly right now I would slap
in a big FIXME in the code so people know this needs
to be fixed properly.
