You're right that the real problem is ordering: nothing makes dw_mmc wait
for the RK3399 io-domain driver, which sets the 1.8 V level of the SD
pins. [1] tried to add that dependency and was not merged. Async probe
only stops this driver from holding the deferred-probe worker for ~0.7 s;
any other slow probe in that window breaks UHS the same way.

Is there a way to express this dependency that you would accept?
