Subject: REGRESSION: HiKey eMMC corruption

The last few months have been busy and I've not been ontop of my
upstream testing as well as I'd like, but today I did manage to chase
down an issue I've been seeing since 4.17-rc1 on the HiKey board,
which was causing emmc corruption and stopping the board from booting.

Symptoms usually looked like:
[    1.690448] mmc_host mmc0: Bus speed (slot 0) = 24800000Hz (slot
req 400000Hz, actual 400000HZ div = 31)

[   13.640817] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk0p10):
ext4_journal_check_start:61: Detected aborted journal
[   13.650043] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p10): Remounting filesystem read-only

And quite often this would result in a disk that wouldn't properly
boot even with older kernels.

I've narrowed the issue down to the following change:
abd7d0972a192 ("arm64: dts: hikey: Enable HS200 mode on eMMC")

Reverting this change seems to make things work reliably for me.

Should we revert that upstream for now?

thanks
