I would very much like that to happen. However, SD card UHS-1 DDR modes
require 1.8V signaling, which is unavailable on _all_ sunxi boards.
This seems like a limit of most of the SoCs not having a separate IO
voltage rail for mmc pins.

Until then, I wouldn't worry that much.

Unfortunately I did try putting in the correct numbers for them, and my
eMMC then failed to probe. It seems the core switches up from 400kHz to
50MHz then to 50MHz DDR, and it fails somewhere in there, maybe at 50MHz.

I'm not sure if we need to add DT bindings to specify different delays
for different controllers, though. Seems like we'll never actually use
it.

Hope this answers your questions.
