There are no guarantees clk_set_rate() will manage to set the exact
requested rate as ios->clock. At least if you follow the clk API
documentation.

Hmm. Looking a bit deeper into this, we have some additional related
code to fixup. :-)

In ->probe(), we do clk_set_rate(100MHz), if the mclk > 100MHz. That's
due to the current variants don't support higher frequency than this.
It seems like the Qcom variant may support up to 208MHz? Now, if
that's the case, we need to add "f_max" to the struct variant_data to
store this information, so we can respect different values while doing
clk_set_rate() at ->probe().

While updating mmc->f_max for host->variant->explicit_mclk_control, we
shouldn't care about using the host->mclk as a limiter, instead, use
min(mmc->f_max, host->variant->f_max) and fallback to fmax.

Not sure how that will affect the logic. :-)

No, this seems like a wrong approach.

I think you would like to do use the clk_round_rate() find out the
lowest possible rate. Or just use a fixed fallback value somehow.
