I pulled NXP's downtream kernel based on 5.15.y, and grepped the code
for imx8mm-usdhc.  It looks like the imx8mm, imx8mn, imx8mp, and
imx8ulp use the imx8mm compatible flag.
The imx8mq uses the older imx7d.  I'll do a second revision later
today or tomorrow.  Looking inside the driver, it appears there are
some other quirks that different between the imx7d and imx8mm beyond
just support for HS400-ES, so I think your option 2 is appropriate.
Hopefully someone from NXP can comment.
