gpio/pinctrl is still not my area of expertise so your feedback is
greatly appreciated!

gpc2-2 does not seem to be the card-detect pin for these tablets. If
I add sd2_cd to pinctrl-0 above I am unable to use the sdcard at all,
instead dmesg is filled with repeating messages like:

[ 18.669050] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 50000000Hz (slot req 300000Hz, actual 297619HZ div = 84)
[ 18.703711] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 50000000Hz (slot req 200000Hz, actual 200000HZ div = 125)
[ 18.737167] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 50000000Hz (slot req 100000Hz, actual 100000HZ div = 250)
[ 19.058352] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 50000000Hz (slot req 400000Hz, actual 396825HZ div = 63)
[ 19.093037] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 50000000Hz (slot req 300000Hz, actual 297619HZ div = 84)
[ 19.127701] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 50000000Hz (slot req 200000Hz, actual 200000HZ div = 125)
[ 19.162380] mmc_host mmc1: Bus speed (slot 0) = 50000000Hz (slot req 100000Hz, actual 100000HZ div = 250)

gpx2-4 on the other hand switches state when an sdcard is inserted or
removed. After exporting relevant pins I have, with the card
inserted:

# grep -A 2 gpx2 /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
gpiochip3: GPIOs 24-31, parent: platform/13400000.pinctrl, gpx2:
gpio-26 ( |Power ) in hi IRQ ACTIVE LOW
gpio-28 ( |sysfs ) in lo

and when removed gpx2-4 changes to high:

gpiochip3: GPIOs 24-31, parent: platform/13400000.pinctrl, gpx2:
gpio-26 ( |Power ) in hi IRQ ACTIVE LOW
gpio-28 ( |sysfs ) in hi

All the gpc2 pins are low no matter if sdcard is inserted or removed:

gpiochip7: GPIOs 56-62, parent: platform/13410000.pinctrl, gpc2:
gpio-56 ( |sysfs ) in lo
gpio-57 ( |sysfs ) in lo
gpio-58 ( |sysfs ) in lo
gpio-59 ( |sysfs ) in lo
gpio-60 ( |sysfs ) in lo
gpio-61 ( |sysfs ) in lo
gpio-62 ( |sysfs ) in lo

That being said, I am not sure if it is working properly:

> Also PIN_FUNC_2 for gpx2-4 indicate that it is wakeup_int2 function.
> Do you get a card detect interrupt when removing and inserting the card to
> the card slot?

(What is the best way to check this?) I don't get any irq related
messages in dmesg, and I don't see any changes in /proc/interrupts if
tracked with something like `watch -n1 "cat /proc/interrupts"` when
card is removed or inserted, so seems likely that pin config is wrong.
All I can find in vendor kernel for this device is that pull config is
set to S3C_GPIO_PULL_NONE [1]. For some of the sibling tablets the
pin is configured as {S3C_GPIO_INPUT, GPIO_LV_N, S3C_GPIO_PULL_NONE}
[2] though, which I think should correspond to having:

mmc2_cd: mmc2-cd-pins {
samsung,pins = "gpx2-4";
samsung,pin-function = <EXYNOS_PIN_FUNC_INPUT>;
samsung,pin-pud = <EXYNOS_PIN_PULL_NONE>;
samsung,pin-drv = <EXYNOS5420_PIN_DRV_LV3>;
};

Changing to that does not seem to change anything though, I don't get
any interrupt, or any messages in dmesg, when inserting or removing
the sdcard.

Thanks, will fix in a v4 (after discussions here are settled).
