It will then construct a list of good phase ranges (even ranges t=

Which point is "_generic_"? I don't find the code that control the=

relevant to CLK_DRV/SMPL PHASE. It seems that posted the similar p=

u-boot mailing list..
=20
The "generic" part is that it uses the clk phase API for dw_mmc
implementations where the clkgen controlling interface is outside t=
he

dw_mmc IP itself. So it's open for other implementations as well.
=20
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 rk=
3368.=20
rk3036/rk3128 (Cortex-A7) provide a bit description, but the tuning=20
documentation still uses the controls located in the clock controller.

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

As described above, moving that to the rockchip part sounds sensible. A=

guess we can think more about it, once a second user appears.
