that's the signature of many Amlogic IP blocks:
they build a clock mux/divider/gate into the actual consumer IP block

actually I don't know - the public S805 datasheet doesn't list these bits
the vendor driver just calls the first three TX_CLK, RX_CLK, SD_CLK
(that's bits[14:12])
the last one (mod_clk) is documented as:
  Clock Module Enable, Should set before bit[14:12] switch on,
  and after bit[14:12] switch off

so all I know is that the order is important

not that I am aware of :-(

the vendor driver documents this: [2]
  wait sdhc controller cmd send
and the public S805 datasheet states:
  (0:Ready for command,1:busy)

unfortunately this is another "not that I'm aware of"

the only other explanation I found in the vendor driver (which I used
as reference) is this error print:
  sdhc_err("Warning: DMA state is wrong! SDHC_ESTA=0x%x\n", esta);

good point, thank you
I'll update that while keeping the order of "mod_clk" right (see [0] and [1])

ACK, same as above

the Amlogic internal datasheet extract I got has them in a table with
the clock settings (mux, divider). I rephrased this table into my own
words - you can find it in the patch description
what's implemented here is basically a translation of the datasheet into C
if it's more consistent with the Linux MMC framework to check for
"ios.timing" (either only checking the timing, or checking it in
addition to the bus speed) then please let me know.

just to confirm I understand you correctly:
the dt-bindings should look similar to what others have been working
on for the arasan SDHCI controller: [3]
based on that I'll then go forward and implement the driver part(s)

great, thank you for taking the time to review this driver!
