The eMMC controller is also a new timing mode controller, but it doesn't
have the timing mode switch. It does however have signal delay and
calibration controls, typical of Allwinner MMC controllers that support
the new timing mode.

Enable the new timing mode setting for the A64 eMMC controller. This
also enables MMC HS-DDR modes, which gives higher throughput for eMMC
chips that support it, and can deliver such throughput.

That doesn't look right. The datasheet explicitly mentions that this
bit doesn't apply to the eMMC controller, and the BSP is doing the same:
https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine64/blob/lichee-dev-v3.10.65/drivers/mmc/host/sunxi-mmc-sun50iw1p1-1.c

vs
https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine64/blob/lichee-dev-v3.10.65/drivers/mmc/host/sunxi-mmc-sun50iw1p1-2.c
You mean the bit in SDXC_REG_SD_NTSR? Yes I know that doesn't exist
for the eMMC controller. I mentioned this in the commit message. It
doesn't exist, and writes to it become a no-op.

Would a comment, or comments, help with making this clear?
Ah right. Maybe we should move the calibration under can_calibrate
though, or create another boolean for this?

Putting it under has_new_timings while the SoC doesn't use it looks
very confusing.
