[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] rockchip: mmc: handle deprecation of 'clock-freq-min-max'

I am aware of this kernel behaviour, but felt that it does not directly apply for
this specific change, as the original DTS (before the deprecation of this property)
had defined the minimum frequency for the affected chips as <400000>.

For reference, here’s the DTS change that this is tracking:
-               clock-freq-min-max = <400000 150000000>;
+               max-frequency = <150000000>;

During the init-op, the following code in dw_mmc.c ensures that we are always
enumerating at f_min (which is always 400kHz with this driver):
        /* Enumerate at 400KHz */
      	dwmci_setup_bus(host, mmc->cfg->f_min);
So the UBoot MMC-core relies on the drivers to select a single frequency.

In other words: this commit does not change the current state of affairs, as
all affected devices (i.e. those that the rockchip-dw-mmc binds to) already
have the 400kHz f_min set.

If you feel that this it is worthwhile, we can also change mmc/mmc.c to not
just rely on the init-op, but explicitly set the frequency and then iterate over
the 400KHz … 100kHz array.
However, this would then affect all mmc-drivers, so I would rather keep this
as a separate change that allows everyone to test on their boards.

Best regards,
Philipp.
