Ahh, I see.

It seems like a reasonable assumption that the controller can't cope
with a higher clock rate than 100 MHz as "input" clock. That would
then mean that there are different versions of the controller, as it
seems like for some version it's fine with 200MHz and for some 100MHz.

According to the DT compatible strings, *one* version is currently
supported, "qcom,sdhci-msm-v4"...

I see two viable solutions. One would be to limit the clock rate
depending on the version of the controller (new compatible strings
needs to be added). Another one would be to limit the clock rate by
using the existing DT binding for max-frequency, and thus do a
clk_set_rate(mmc->f_max) during probe.

Both examples are being used in other host drivers. The mmci host
driver does it the first way and the sdhci_bcm_kona does it in the
other way.

What do you think?

Kind regards
Uffe
