You mean moving the " card->sw_caps.hs_max_dtr = 50000000;" under if
(card->scr.sda_spec3) condition and still retaining the else condition for "
if (card->scr.sda_spec3) ".

Something like this:

if (card->scr.sda_spec3) {
if (status[13] & 0x02)
card->sw_caps.hs_max_dtr = 50000000;
...
...

} else {
if (status[13] & 0x02)
card->sw_caps.hs_max_dtr = 50000000;
}

I thought it's duplication of code as both if & else condition is executing
the same code so thought of putting it outside of if, else.
I am even ok with putting it inside "if (card->scr.sda_spec3)", if you think
it's better.
