Right!

Yes, the documentation is wrong. It should we be moved into the docs for sdhci.
I will send a patch updating it. Apologize for the misleading information.

Nope.

Yes.

It it's better to describe what the controller/board support, instead
of what it doesn't.
I think you should be able to use other existing mmc DT bindings
(perhaps also you need the brand new "mmc-ddr-3_3v"), instead of the
"no-1-8-v".
Kind regards
