definitely it could happen in the future, and hopefully a change to
generalize max frequencies supported by broken cards won't be overly
complicated, but firstly let's wait for reports about other such cards.

Like you said it might be a working solution for a particular board
with a hardwired Marvell card, but what if a card module is placed to
a slot?

The addressed problem is related to the specific card, and apparently
it is incorrect to workaroud it by adjusting a host controller property
to comply with a specific card, also your workaroud is for OF platforms
only.
