Unfortunately, that's not true (or at least, that's not related to your patch).

I'm not really sure what you're trying to fix here, but as far as MMC
goes, eMMC's can support io voltage of 3.3, 1.8 and 1.2V. Modes up until
HS DDR (50MHz in DDR) will use an IO voltage of 3.3V, higher speed modes
(HS200 and HS400) supporting 1.8V and 1.2V.

The mmc-hs200-1_8v property states that the MMC controller supports the
HS200 mode at 1.8V. Now, I can only assume that since BLDO2 is set up at
1.8V then otherwise, the MMC core will rightfully decide to use the
highest supported mode. In this case, since the driver sets it, it would
be HS-DDR at 3.3V, which won't work with that fixed regulator.

I can only assume that enabling HS200 at 1.8V only fixes the issue you
have because otherwise it would use HS-DDR at 3.3V, ie not actually
fixing the issue but sweeping it under the rug.

Trying to add mmc-ddr-1_8v would be a good idea
