I'm not really sure we need the ALWAYS_NEW bit here. In the case where
the clocks cannot operate in the old mode any more, we won't even
query the clocks, since we know that it's not needed at all.

Pretty much just like what we're doing for old-mode-only clocks at the
moment.

I guess the only thing we should indentify is whether the clock can
switch between the two, or not, and the MMC_TIMING_SWITCH bit is
already perfect for that.
