I don't want us to invent a DT binding for something you *think* is a
HW controller issue.

Have you really excluded that this isn't a software issue? Me
personally haven't been using HPI that much so I can't really tell
about the code robustness from the mmc core (mmc protocol point of
view).

Kind regards
