Yes, It's used for WiFi. So it's displayed unnecessary log.
It's possible to confuse whether SDMA is not supported or not.
So i changed from printf to debug. 
Instead, i will also send patch about displaying host controller information.
like the below..(I'm making patches.)

U-Boot> mmcinfo
Device: emmc2 at 7e340000
Manufacturer ID: 3
OEM: 5344
Name: SC16G
Bus Speed: 50000000
Mode: SD High Speed (50MHz)
Rd Block Len: 512
SD version 3.0
High Capacity: Yes
Capacity: 14.8 GiB
Bus Width: 4-bit
Erase Group Size: 512 Bytes
**Host Controller Information**
Host Controller: SDHCI
Mode : PIO
SDHCI version : 2
Host max clock : 100000000

Then it doesn't need to display "sdhci_setup_cfg: Your controller doesn't support SDMA!!".
How about?

And my next step is the enabling UHS speed mode.(if it's possible.) But i don't have enough RPI4 information.
- SD card's vmmc regulator information, etc...

Anyway, Peng and you want to keep "printf" instead of "debug".
I will resend patch.
