No, I don't know any source better than the datasheet @ github.
Yes, I tried to double-check things with the sheet too.

IIRC Eric mentioned a while back in some mail or patch that he checked
something for the rpi device tree with non-public docs, not fully sure
though whenever it was emmc/sdhost or something else.  But I'm basically
trusting Eric here ...

cheers,

PS: This is exactly why I think it us useful to have all those entries
    in the dt file even if unused:  To serve as documentation.
