The Orange Pi 3 has an HS400-capable eMMC ?!
That's really good news, I've initially done the HS200 support on a
custom board I had to give back and couldn't find any board with
HS200/HS400 since.

If it work fine on the H6, we should set the max-frequency property on
the DT, just like I did on the A64.

Which calibration do you mean? IIRC, the data strobe signal is only used
(optionally) in HS400. The controller might have some internal
calibration for other modes though.
