I remember you mentioned the vendor prefix
stands for the SoC vendor, not the IP vendor.
The compatible prefixed with the IP vendor is prepared for a fallback.

I will add "socionext,sd4hc".

I did not know this new property.

So, now we have two ways to specify MMC speed mode capabilities
by only touching DT.

[1] Add MMC mode flags directly, like I did.
[2] Use "sdhci-caps-mask" and "sdhci-caps"


The problem for [2] is that eMMC capabilities
do not perfectly correspond to the SDHCI capabilities register.


>> +- mmc-hs400-1_8v
>> +- mmc-hs400-1_2v

If the driver sets SDHCI_QUIRK2_CAPS_BIT63_FOR_HS400,
we can use the bit63 of caps for specifying HS400.

But, this is not defined in the SDHCI standard.
#define SDHCI_SUPPORT_HS400 0x80000000 /* Non-standard */



>> +- mmc-ddr-1_8v

For High Speed DDR, perhaps we can imply MMC_CAP_1_8V_DDR
from MMC_CAP_UHS_DDR50 (bit34 of caps)

This is not supported in the current code, but
if this is a good idea, I can send a patch.


>> +- mmc-ddr-1_2v

This does not have the corresponding bit, but
1.2V is not commonly used, so this is not a fatal problem.



What I can do at most now, is to delete the
Optional properties section entirely
so users can choose [1] or [2] as they like.
