The gates/resets are added in that patch. No one is using them. The
device tree node for the MMC controllers do _not_ reference this clock
and reset, only the individual ones in the MMC config clock block.

Unless you are expecting BROM or SPL to have set that up for you, which
IMO is quite fragile. You could very well boot from SPI or even FEL, and
it wouldn't be correctly setup, in which case MMC would be completely
broken.

FYI the clk-sun9i-mmc driver in Linux deasserts the reset at probe:

    https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/clk/sunxi/clk-sun9i-mmc.c#L145

And enables the bus gate when it needs to toggle bits in its register
space:

    https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/clk/sunxi/clk-sun9i-mmc.c#L53

This is what is missing. Andre's patch doesn't have them. He specifically
mentioned this.
