I suppose that the pinmux node have set "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc"
property?

The problem is not with lack of eMMC probing - it is with pinctrl nodes
having "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc" set in DTS and the eMMC is probed after
MLO/SPL.
It looks like your use case implicitly depends on pinmux being
reconfigured no matter if we are pre-relocated (MLO) or afterwards.

As stated in the commit message above - for DDR pads it is dangerous to
re-configure them.

I'm wondering as in the device_probe() @ drivers/core/device.c the
DM_FLAG_ACTIVATED is checked. This should be enough to prevent
re-checking (of the DDR pins).

Anyway, this will not fix the issue you mentioned. 

I've put Simon to CC, maybe he would have some input?


Best regards,

Lukasz Majewski
