Yea good point, though given there might not even be a One Freq to Rule Them All, how about:

Subject: [PATCH v3] mmc: Make ID freq configurable

While the SD spec specifies a range of frequencies for the ID phase from 100-400kHz, not all cards play by the rules.  This patch adds a Kconfig option to allow the user to tweak this to their card/host config, though the default of 250kHz should be fine for all spec-abiding cards and most others besides.
