I remember the different reports from the Radxa forums. Personally, I
did test different eMMCs (3 Foresee, 1 Samsung) last year and all
those did not work.
https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-rockchip/2023-July/039567.html
The enable-strobe-pulldown test above was done using one of the Foresee
modules and with the on-board eMMC of the 4B+.
Unfortunately, I don't have all the eMMCs from last year any more.
However, I could test with another Foresee, in case this is regarded a
valuable data point.

I only included the diff to explicitly show what I did for testing. It
was not meant to be a patch for inclusion as the below question still
remains:

If there's consensus on whether to enable the pulldown by default in the
driver or in all the respective DTS, I'd be happy to offer a proper patch.
