According to your log, the primecell-periphid is 0x00041181, which
means mmci will be using the arm_variant.

A simple fix; for the arm_variant, go back to use the old behaviour.

A quite simple fix; Invent a new primecell-periphid and a new
corresponding variant and use the old behaviour for this variant. The
new primecell-periphid then needs to be provided through DT for the
QEMU dtb.

Is there any of the above solution you see as the preferred one?

Kind regards
Uffe
