With this SD I've been able to check that SDR104 is working.

How about making the "testing-hs200-uhs" branch for this? It needs to test more..
I guess my target doesn't do the voltage change..i'm doing for ufs driver on u-boot in my local..
So i didn't see fully..today i have a free time..So i'm doing full review other thing..and about pending patches.

Thanks for waiting me.. :)
