Yes, in v2 I'll just pull CLKSRC modification down, so it's executed
after disabling the clock, as recommended in TRM. Something like this:

8<------------------------------------------------------------->8
        /* Disable clock */
-       dwmci_writel(host, DWMCI_CLKSRC, 0);
        ret = dwmci_control_clken(host, false);
        if (ret)
                return ret;

        /* Set clock to desired speed */
        dwmci_writel(host, DWMCI_CLKDIV, div);
+       dwmci_writel(host, DWMCI_CLKSRC, 0);

        /* Enable clock */
        ret = dwmci_control_clken(host, true);
8<------------------------------------------------------------->8

Yes, exactly. As for the possible actions, I'd say it'd nice to fix it
in kernel too, though I kinda see it as a very minor issue right now.
Not sure if I can find the time to do that soon though.

On a philosophical note: I'm sure a lot of drivers don't follow the
sequences intended by the hardware exactly, but they still work
because IP core design is permissive enough. Over the years I found
peace with that somehow :)

Yes, will do in v2 (going to submit it today). And will also add some
related comment in the code. If you don't mind, please add your
"Reviewed-by" tags where possible in v2, to keep the ball rolling :)

Thanks for reviewing!
