Introduce a new optional device tree property `max-sd-hs-frequency` to
limit the maximum frequency (in Hz) used for SD cards operating in
High-Speed (HS) mode.

This property is useful for platforms with vendor-specific hardware
constraints, such as the presence of a level shifter that cannot
reliably support the default 50 MHz HS frequency. It allows the host
driver to cap the HS mode frequency accordingly.

This might be fine, but your DTS suggests clearly this is SoC compatible
deducible, which I already said at v1.

So now you send v3 which is the same as v1, so you get the same comments.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
Introducing this flag no longer becomes SoC compatible because as per 
discussions in V2 patchset with Ulf and Konrad this new property can be 
used by any vendor who wants to limit the HS mode frequency due to any 
reason. Thats why moved to this generic approach again in V3 as compared 
to compatible based approach in V2.
