As pointed out by Chukun, I found the hardware design guide for
RK3528[1] (in Chinese) does claim that SDIO 3.0 is supported on all
these three controllers in Chapter 2.3.1 (SDMMC/SDIO),

  RK3528 集成了 1 个 SDMMC 控制器和 2 个 SDIO 控制器，均可支持 SDIO3.0 协
  议，以及 MMC V4.51 协议。其中 SDIO0 和 SDIO1 最高可支持 200MHz，SDMMC
  最高只支持到 150MHz

translated to English,

  RK3528 integrates one SDMMC controller and two SDIO controllers, all
  support SDIO3.0 protocol and MMC V4.51 protocol. Among them SDIO0 and
  SDIO1 support 200MHz frequency at maximum, and SDMMC supports up to
  150MHz.

So I think there's no reason to explicitly deny SDIO initialization
sequence for the controller on Radxa E20C. imho this won't break
anything even for a sdcard slot, will it?

Additionally, this piece of information points out that wrong
max-frequency is set for SDIO{0,1}. Rockchip overrides the frequency in
devicetrees for the demo boards[2], I'm not sure whether it's for some
speical reason or not.

Since I don't have a SDIO-capable board on hand, could you please test
whether 200MHz actually works? If so I'll correct the SoC devicetree in
v3.
