Certain board configurations can make highspeed malfunction due to
timing issues. In these cases a way is needed to force the controller
and card into standard speed even if they otherwise appear to be capable
of highspeed.

The sd-broken-highspeed property will let the sdhci driver know that
highspeed will not work.

Regarding a broken card, that is managed via the card quirks and not in DT.

If this is about a controller limitation, we already have the option
to describe what it supports, so we don't need an option to tell what
it *not* supports.

For example "cap-sd-highspeed" tells whether the controller supports
SD high-speed, please use that instead.

If a controller has a capability register and it lies (perhaps the
board has limitations that the SoC does not), then you may need to
disable a feature.
