I don't mean vmmc. In the sdhci_set_power function, we are using vmmc.
I feel not confortable with it because the power control register
contains 'SD Bus' fields so it should depend on vqmmc not vmmc.

Right. But when having vmmc supply we do:
sdhci_writeb(host, SDHCI_POWER_ON, SDHCI_POWER_CONTROL) or
sdhci_writeb(host, 0, SDHCI_POWER_CONTROL) so we loose the signal level,
isn't it?

It is my turn to not follow! We write into the Power Control Register
only in sdhci_set_power(). May I miss a callback or something else?
sdhci_do_start_signal_voltage_switch doesn't modify the Power Control
Register.

Me too, I am starting to dig into the sdhci spec and some points are
not crystal clear.
