I had bad experience with max-frequency: Some higher speed modes seem
not to work reliably if constraint to low frequencies. E.g. we had lots
of devices fail in practise with HS400@100MHz... So it is doing what it
should, but it just seems that higher speed modes do not necessarily run
well with lower frequencies...

So I'd rather prefer to limit speed modes as it is done right now.

Hm, yeah I guess something like

sdhci-caps-mask =  /bits/ 64 <((SDHCI_SUPPORT_SDR104 |
SDHCI_SUPPORT_SDR50 | SDHCI_SUPPORT_DDR50) << 32)>

would come close.

But it does not restrict MMC modes such as HS200/HS400. There seem to be
no mmc-caps...


My aim is to replace the SDHCI_QUIRK2_NO_1_8_V fix, which does not
restrict modes correctly. Currently the driver checks whether >=100MHz
pinctrl settings are available, and if not uses the quirk to restrict
higher speed modes. Removing that would break device tree backward
compatibility... 

We probably could do something like this:
if (!100mhzpinctrl) {
     if (!sdhci-caps) {
          /*
           * If no 100MHz/200MHz pinctrl are available, SDHC caps should
be used to restrict 
           * modes. Falling back to old behavior...
           */
         pr_warn(...)
         host->quirks2 |= SDHCI_QUIRK2_NO_1_8_V;
     }
}
