This patch adds a Kconfig option to allow the user to tweak this to their card/host config, though the default of 250kHz should be fine for all spec-abiding cards and most others besides.

This is not a good solution. We all use the same pool of cards so we
should all be using the same init sequence. If there isn't a single
frequency where all cards will work, then we'll have to make something
more advanced where the kernel will try the init several times with
different clocking.
