They do share a parent clock and have separate gates, and each MMC IP
block has an internal divider for the bus frequency derived from that
shared clock.

Yes, I don't really understand the patch, TBH.

The "clk_set_rate" call will only set the shared clock to the *maximum*
clock frequency (host->mmc->f_max) which should be the exact same
across all MMC IPs.

That's the case I need different "f_max" for my HW, for some reason
internal slot can't do a full rate (48MHz) but the external can, the same
card used for checking. So I want to set 24M for mmc0, and 48M for mmc1
with respect to hardware limitation.

The JZ4760B programming manual states that the controller is "fully compatible with the SD Memory Card Specification 2.0". In that specification, the bus speed is max. 25 MHz.

The programming manual also says: "In data transfer mode, the MSC controller can operate card with clock rate fpp (0 ~ 25Mhz)."

So the max-frequency really should be 25 MHz.

Nevermind. I read wrong, at least the SD spec. (the quote of the programming manual is still concerning though).

It's rated for 25 MB/s, so 50 MHz on 4 lanes.

Cheers,

So it doesn't matter if it's set 3 times by 3 different instances of
the IP, as long as they all request the same value.

Besides, I know for a fact that the mainline driver works fine on the
JZ4760(B) and JZ4725B.

Finally... even if it was correct, this change would break
compatibility with old Device Tree files.

Cheers,
-Paul
