Well, I suppose there's a philosophical question in there about whether 
shouting into the void counts as "communication", but AFAIR what the 
polling function does is power up the controller, send a command, and 
see if it gets a response.

If the clock can't be set to the proper rate for low-speed discovery, 
some or all cards may not be detected properly. Conversely if it is 
already at a slow enough rate for discovery but can't be set higher once 
a proper communication mode has been established, data transfer 
performance will be terrible. Either way, it is not OK in general for 
clk_set_rate() to fail, hence the warning. You have a clock driver problem.

Cheers,
Robin.
