Yes, the dts should describe the eMMC power supplies.

The properties are: vmmc-supply and vqmmc-supply.

Does it hang if you pass "pm_genpd_ignore_unused" and
"clk_ignore_unused" in the kernel command line?

I saw Ulf's response about a potential regression in 6.17.

Do you see the hang with 6.16?
