Sorry the changelog is confused. What we're doing is just obey the maximum clockdivider as seen in mmci_set_clkreg(). It's host->cclk = host->mclk / (clk + 2); for the ST version, and since the maximum divider in hardware is 255 this becomes 257, so we cannot divide the frequency with anything lower than 257. This should also be DIV_ROUND_UP() though, I'm fixing a new patch. > So unless there is a reason not to (eg, divisors above 257 are invalid) > its better to leave it as is. Above 257 is indeed invalid on ST variants, as above 512 is on ARM variants.
