This algorithm will try 1 degree increments, since there's no way to
tell
what resolution the underlying phase code uses. As an added bonus, doing
many tunings yields better results since some tests are run more than
once
(ex: if the underlying driver uses 45 degree increments, the tuning code
will try the same angle more than once).

It will then construct a list of good phase ranges (even ranges that
cross
360/0), will pick the biggest range then it will set the sample_clk to
the
middle of that range.

We do not touch ciu_drive (and by extension define default-drive-phase).
Drive phase is mostly used to define minimum hold times, while one could
write some code to determine what phase meets the minimum hold time (ex
10
degrees) this will not work with the current clock phase framework
(which
floors angles, so we'll get 0 deg, and there's no way to know what
resolution the floors happen at). We assume that the default drive
angles
set by the hardware are good enough.

If a device has device specific code (like exynos) then that will still
take precedence, otherwise this new code will execute. If the device
wants
to tune, but has no sample_clk defined we'll return EIO with an error
message.
Which point is "_generic_"? I don't find the code that control the
register
relevant to CLK_DRV/SMPL PHASE. It seems that posted the similar patches
at
u-boot mailing list..
The "generic" part is that it uses the clk phase API for dw_mmc
implementations where the clkgen controlling interface is outside the
dw_mmc IP itself. So it's open for other implementations as well.
Designware IP also has the CLK phase register(UHS_REG_EXT register)...
if this code is related with it, it should be located into dw-mmc.c.
UHS_REG_EXT is acutally "reserved" on both the rk3288 as well as the rk3368. 
rk3036/rk3128 (Cortex-A7) provide a bit description, but the tuning 
documentation still uses the controls located in the clock controller.

So I guess UHS_REG_EXT is the real "generic" solution.

But if you are more comfortable with it, I can also move it into the
dw_mmc- rockchip variant for the time being, until another user comes
along.
I think more better that this code is located into dw_mmc-rockchip. how
about?
As described above, moving that to the rockchip part sounds sensible. And I 
guess we can think more about it, once a second user appears.
Sure, we can think more about this.
As you knew, clock phase is closely related to the timing issue.
So clock phase scheme needs to control however.
In future, if somebody introduce the similar control as rockchip, we can discuss about it.
