No, it doesn't.
On Dove, mpp12 carries sdio*1* card detect.
ES has sdio*0* slot card detect routed to mpp12 and cannot rely on
SDHCI CARD_PRESENT bit. That is what the gpio workaround is for.
Production uses the correct mpp pin and cannot rely on gpio pin
value, as it is not connected to slot card detect.
So, use the wrong dts on either ES or production will break sdio card
detect.
