This mismatch comes only in case MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER, right?

I understand this change although some part of commit message (boot time, probe time...) make me confused.
I guess this change intends to update clock programming forcedly.
It looks like another version of 'dw_mci_setup_bus(slot, true)'.
Eventually, this change does same?

Thanks,
