Just out of curiosity, is the problem with the strobe line, or with
hs400?  Have you tried using the solution from "rk3399-gru.dtsi"?
Namely:

        /*
         * Signal integrity isn't great at 200 MHz and 150 MHz (DDR) gives the
         * same (or nearly the same) performance for all eMMC that are intended
         * to be used.
         */
        assigned-clock-rates = <150000000>;

IIRC hs400 on rk3399 was a bit iffy but running at 150 MHz made it
much more reliable and still gave you 300 MB/s transfer rate (so much
better than hs200).  In reality many eMMC chips can't do > 300 MB/s
anyway.
