It is working for Keem Bay before until the Commit 16ada730a759 ("mmc: sdhci-of-arasan: Modify clock operations handling")
came into the picture. Both Commit 16ada730a759 ("mmc: sdhci-of-arasan: Modify clock operations handling") and
Commit 36c6aadaae86 ("mmc: sdhci-of-arasan: Add support for Intel Keem") are merged about the same time.
We did not have "Modify clock operations handling" patch when rebasing and testing during upstreaming process.

I noticed of this issue when using latest mainline v5.10-rcx recently.
