Actually this may be limitation of sdhc msm controller that it cannot 
work at lower frequency while in HS400 mode. I would have to see more on 
this to confirm on why this limitation is there (mostly it was with some 
DLL limitation).
In that case maybe I should not generalize this for other controllers.


But still the below code change to set the bus_speed after setting the 
timing should be fine right ? Since host controller may as well change 
the frequency to 200MHz.

Do you think the below change is fine in this sense? I can change the 
commit message to just -
"set both timing mode and frequency before sending CMD13 in 
mmc_select_hs400es."

Or do you see any other approach to this ?
