I made it a warning in V2 but still picked the closest reasonable
value. See what you think. The PHY really isn't in control of this
clock, so the warning is the best it can do. Presumably someone
designing a system with this PHY in it would see the warning an
realize that they should make SDHCI run at more reasonable rates...
