As you probably know, I don't have the in-depth knowledge about this HW. Although, let me provide a very vague guess. Could be that the controller needs a higher clock rate to stay within some spec, for an OPP/voltage domain for example? In any case, assuming you get some confirmation from the Broadcom folkz that this makes sense, you need to update the DT doc bindings to add the clock-frequency property. In regards to this, please take the opportunity to convert from legacy DT doc format (brcm,sdhci-iproc.txt) into the new yaml format.

I'm seeing a rather odd behavior from sdhci-iproc's integration in BCM2711 (Raspberry Pi 4's SoC), and would appreciate some opinions. The controller will timeout on SDHCI CMDs under the following conditions: - No SD card plugged in (the card polling thread is running, CD irq disabled). - BCM2711's VPU clock[1] configured at 500MHz or more, lower clocks are OK. There is no specific command that will time out, it seems random. Here's what I found out. The SDHCI controller runs at 100MHz, by bumping the frequency to 150MHz the issue disapears. Might be pure luck, or maybe I hit the nail and it's proper interference. Can't say.
