Hello,

first of all: thank you for this patch!

I think this is the exact same problem I reported some days ago: [0]
Ulf is questioning whether we properly support 52MHz clocks correctly,
so I think you're onto something!

So this is an excellent finding! I can confirm that using rx_clk_phase
of 1 makes my Odroid-C1 eMMC work again :-)

As far as I know unconditionally using value 1 can negatively affect
other devices.
I'm assuming that you're testing on an Odroid-C1 or similar board with
HS200 eMMC:
On those SoC + eMMC combinations we do support. But on other boards
(for example Meson8b EC-100 / Endless Mini) there's no HS200 support
because the eMMC is connected with 3.3V IO lines. So tuning is not
executed there (if I recall correctly).

What do you think about adding a special case for the 51MHz "actual
clock rate" and adding a comment that it was found by manual testing?
For some reason (that I don't understand) Amlogic's vendor driver
maxes out at 47.22MHz (presumably because they limit themselves to
using FCLK_DIV3 as input only - but I don't get why...).


Best regards,
Martin
