Thanks, I've dug a little deeper into the history of this code and
the associated hardware documentation and it seems that the desired
sequence is as follows:

1. Reset HS400 mode (currently executed near beginning of tmio_mmc_set_ios())
2. Set clock for HS200 mode (tmio_mmc_set_ios())
3. Tune in HS200 mode
4. Set clock for HS200 mode (tmio_mmc_set_ios())
5. Set to HS400 mode (currently renesas_sdhi_prepare_hs400_tuning() which
                      is executed near the end of tmio_mmc_set_ios())

X. It is also necessary to disable the SCC after setting HS400 mode
   has occurred before setting to High Speed mode.
   This is currently executed near the beginning of tmio_mmc_set_ios().

The current implementation differs a little from the above and its
hard to tell if that is because of hardware requirements or as
an artefact of the implementation of steps 1 and 5 being hooked into
tmio_mmc_set_ios().

It seems to me that step 1 could use the MMC core prepare_hs400_tuning
hook. Its less clear to me where steps 5 and X should hook in but perhaps
tmio_mmc_set_ios() is the right place.
