The root cause is the controller can not generate stable clock itself,
but depends on outside clock source, which is varying, and driver need
to decide input clock rate / choose clock source according to the
working mode.

Three cases here:
1. Input rate for init are diferent for different controller, not the
init 400K, some are 13M, others are 25M, since different clock source.
This can be easily solved by clock-freq-init = <25000000>

2. There is maxmum limit, also can be easily solved by define CLK_MAX.
For example, CLK_MAX = 180M.

3. However some mode can not use the max speed from ios->clock
for example UHS_SDR104_MAX_DTR 208000000 can not be used, only half may
be reached, at least currently.

The third case is current limitation, after this limitation is solved,
we can switch to ios->clock directly.

Considering all these cases, we think using table is more suitable now.
