I don't think so! At least, I don't see how, for the arm32 boards, here 
are the dts entry for setting the clock-phase:

sdmmc_clk: sdmmc_clk {
	#clock-cells = <0>;
	compatible = "altr,socfpga-gate-clk";
	clocks = <&f2s_periph_ref_clk>, <&main_nand_sdmmc_clk>,<&per_nand_mmc_clk>;
	clk-gate = <0xa0 8>;
	clk-phase = <0 135>;   <-----
};

sdmmc_clk_divided: sdmmc_clk_divided {
	#clock-cells = <0>;
	compatible = "altr,socfpga-gate-clk";
	clocks = <&sdmmc_clk>;
	clk-gate = <0xa0 8>;
	fixed-divider = <4>;
	};

...
mmc: dwmmc0@ff704000 {
	compatible = "altr,socfpga-dw-mshc";
	reg = <0xff704000 0x1000>;
	interrupts = <0 139 4>;
	fifo-depth = <0x400>;
	#address-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <0>;
	clocks = <&l4_mp_clk>, <&sdmmc_clk_divided>;
	clock-names = "biu", "ciu";
	resets = <&rst SDMMC_RESET>;
	status = "disabled";
	};


So the setting for the clk-phase is done in the clock driver, 
(drivers/clk/socfpga/clk-gate.c). This has been done many years now, 
before the clk-phase-hs-sd concept was added to the sdmmc driver.

When I originally submitted the patches for the ARM64 clock driver 
support, I forgot to add the clk-phase support for the SD controller. 
Now that I realized we needed it, the concept to set the clk-phase is in 
the SD driver, thus I'm just adding the support for arm64.

The arm32 support does not change in any way, so I don't see how it will 
break it.

I can update the arm32 support with the same function in patch3 after 
this series. Because updating the arm32 will require me to remove the 
support in the clock driver, thus, I want to break it out.
