I meant: Did you try your QEMU command that enables the SDHCI on U-Boot
master, without any patches? It should just work.

Which patch?

The "PCI: dm: Ignore 64-bit memory regions if CONFIG_SYS_PCI_64BIT not set"
commit adds:

+               if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SYS_PCI_64BIT) &&
+                   type == PCI_REGION_MEM && upper_32_bits(pci_addr)) {
+                       debug(" - beyond the 32-bit boundary, ignoring\n");
+                       continue;
+               }

I.e. the patch is a no-op if CONFIG_SYS_PCI_64BIT is set. Also I don't
think PowerPC uses DM PCI, so that code is not executed at all on those
platforms.

If you mean in "PCI: autoconfig: Don't allocate 64-bit addresses to 32-bit only
resources" that someone could have been relying on the truncation of high
32 bits of bus addresses with 32-bit only devices, none of the FSL platforms
have bus addresses above 32-bits, only physical addresses (seen with
git grep CONFIG_SYS_PCIE._MEM_), so that shouldn't cause a problem either.
