the rk3288 and following have their clock phase tuning for hs-modes in
the main soc's clock controller. Hence you have the "ciu-drive" and
"ciu-sample" clocks [0].

On the rk3576 (and probably following) those clock phase settings moved
inside the mmc controller itself. So there are no external phase clocks
anymore.

So right now we have two types in the binding, the rk2928 type [1],
used on the old rk3066 and rk3188 socs, that did not support mmc hs-modes
and the rk3288-type which introduced phase tuning via clocks from the
main clock controller.

The rk3576 now switches to having phase tuning in the mmc controller
itself. So throwing that on unmodified code for the rk3288 will get you
degraded functionality, because the tuning won't work because there are
no "ciu-drive" and "ciu-sample" anymore .


And with that separate compatible we could also "tighten" the binding
a bit to make those additional clocks more explicit for the rk3288 type.
