[PATCH v4] mmc: litex_mmc: Set mandatory idle clocks before CMD0

From: Inochi Amaoto

Date: Sat May 16 2026 - 21:54:08 EST


The litex_mmc driver assumes the card is already probed in the BIOS
and skip the phy initialization. This will cause the command fail
like the following when the old card is unplugged and then insert
a new card:

[ 62.923593] litex-mmc f0004000.mmc: Command (cmd 8) error, status -110
[ 62.949717] litex-mmc f0004000.mmc: Command (cmd 55) error, status -110
[ 62.976606] litex-mmc f0004000.mmc: Command (cmd 55) error, status -110
[ 63.002516] litex-mmc f0004000.mmc: Command (cmd 55) error, status -110
[ 63.028442] litex-mmc f0004000.mmc: Command (cmd 55) error, status -110

Add required clock settings and initialization for the CMD 0, so it can
probe the new card.

Changed from v3:
- https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mmc/20260426112016.1370929-1-inochiama@xxxxxxxxx/
1. Remove patch 1: mmc: litex_mmc: Move litex_mmc_setclk() to bottom for reuse
2. Use set_ios() callback to apply the clock change.

Changed from v2:
- https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mmc/20260424013615.470325-1-inochiama@xxxxxxxxx/
1. Remove the added function forward reference and add a new patch
for moving litex_mmc_setclk() function

Change from v1:
- https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mmc/20260421025052.755471-1-inochiama@xxxxxxxxx/
1. use fsleep to replace udelay
