   I think it is irrelevant to tuning procedure.

   Our host requires to adjust PHY setting after each time ios setting
   (SDCLK/bus width/speed mode) is changed.
   The simplified sequence is:
   mmc change ios --> mmc_set_ios() --> ->set_ios() --> after sdhci_set_ios(),
   adjust PHY setting.
   During PHY setting adjustment, out host driver has to send commands to
   test current sampling point. Tuning is another independent step.

   Thus our host needs a valid command in PHY setting adjustment. Tuning command
   can be borrowed to complete this task in SD SDR50. But for other speed mode,
   we have to find out a valid command.

   Any suggestion please?

   Thank you.
