Hi
The datasheet page125 indicated VDDIO_E voltage range, which should be greater than or equal to VDD voltage.
The related info also was showed at datasheet table41:

In fact, just using FRDM-KL82Z board as an example:
If VDD was powered with 1.8V, the VDDIO_E voltage can't be powered with 1.8V. For external QSPI Flash powered with 3.3V, VDDIO_E need be powered with 3.3V. VDDIO_E voltage is greater than VDD voltage.
If VDD was powered with 3.3V, the VDDIO_E voltage is same with VDD voltage.
The datasheet page68 shows the two voltage (VDDIO/VDD) power up sequence and power down sequence.
There with requirement: VDDIO must never be higher than VDD during power ramp up, or power down.
If VDD was powered with 1.8V and VDDIO_E was powered with 3.3V, there with requirement that: during 0~1.8V power ramp up, the VDDIO_E voltage couldn't higher than VDD. After VDD reach 1.8V, there without this restriction.
If VDD and VDDIO_E were powered with 3.3V, tie VDD and VDDIO to the same power supply is a reasonable choice.
Wish it helps.
Have a great day,
Ma Hui
