Hi Jaehoon,
Sdhost driver is not based on SDHCI controller.
Our MMC controller is not a standard controller which meets host
controller specification completely.
We add some registers and change some bits in the remaining register,
such as about clock and regulator portion.
If our driver base on SDHCI controller, we must change many codes in
sdhci.c, and our MMC driver will become more complicated.
In order to better use our controller capability and make MMC driver
more compact, we do not use SDHCI controller.

Thanks.
