[PATCH v3 1/8] dt-bindings: mmc: add Cadence SD6HC binding

From: Tanmay Kathpalia

Date: Fri Jul 24 2026 - 11:05:45 EST


Cadence SD6HC is a sixth-generation SD/SDIO/eMMC host controller with a
dedicated Cadence Combo PHY interface. It uses separate card-interface
(CIU/SDMCLK) and bus-interface (BIU) clock domains.

PHY timing depends on board IO-cell input/output delays and the DLL
delay-element size. On Altera Agilex5, the SDHC, Combo PHY, and SDMMC
OCP bridge are each reset independently through the HPS Reset Manager.
