By way of illustration, when SolidRun released their Hummingboards, I
spent a while working with Jon Nettleton getting UHS support going on
these boards (which initially required a hardware hack.)  I put
together a patch set which resolved all the problems that there were
at that time.

Yesterday, I tried adding the necessary bits to DT, as people have
started reporting _one_ problem with the SDHCI driver with UHS cards.
What I found dismayed me: I found a total of six problems or variable
severity in around two hours.

This evening, I'm starting to work through those problems, starting
with the damned trivial ones where printk()s are inappropriately
noisy, which can only come down to a lack of review of submissions
before applying changes.  Some of these are core MMC code, so I'm
afraid they aren't attributable to "no sdhci maintainer".

Eg, this one is particularly annoying as it takes something like 23
attempts to probe one of two SDHCI interfaces, so we end up with
24 "voltage-ranges unspecified" messages at boot time.

    mmc: core: shut up "voltage-ranges unspecified" pr_info()

    Each time a driver such as sdhci-esdhc-imx is probed, we get a info
    printk complaining that the DT voltage-ranges property has not been
    specified.

    However, the DT binding specifically says that the voltage-ranges
    property is optional.  That means we should not be complaining that
    DT hasn't specified this property: by indicating that it's optional,
    it is valid not to have the property in DT.

    Silence the warning if the property is missing.
