I think the Rockchip platform can also use it, but it hasn't been
clearly documented yet.

Yes, agreed. Clearly the cclk_in_drv and cclk_in_sample methods to shift
the phase of the CIU clock is implemented differently. The exynos'
implementation is not getting touched at all.

But let's take a look at what are the possible values ddr/sdr timings
can take? From Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mmc/exynos-dw-mshc.txt:

"Valid values for SDR and DDR CIU clock timing for Exynos5250:
      - valid value for tx phase shift and rx phase shift is 0 to 7."

For socfpga, 0 = 45 degrees shift, 1 = 90 degrees shift,...[n++] and 7 =
315 degrees shift. If my guess is correct, it should also be the same
for exynos.

Do you agree that the 2nd value of sdr/ddr timing is representing the
cclk_in_drv? Looking at the code dw_mmc-exynos.c, this is indeed what
the 2nd value in sdr/ddr timing is representing.


So we can come up with a more generic DTS binding that the generic
dw_mmc driver can use to set the hold-reg, but that binding still needs
to pass in the cclk_in_drv somehow, as cclk_in_drv is the only external
variable that is needed to determine when to set hold-reg.

And if sdr/ddr timing is already representing cclk_in_drv, doesn't it
make sense to re-use that binding?
