This breaks emmc in Linux for existing devices without hs400 support:
exynos_config_hs400 is run no matter if the dt has the hs400
parameters, meaning 0x0 is written to DWMCI_HS400_DQS_EN and
DWMCI_HS400_DLINE_CTRL. U-boot does not seem to care, it loads the
kernel and initramfs without issues, but Linux later gives errors:

```

Specifically it seems to be writing 0x0 to DWMCI_HS400_DQS_EN that is
the issue, if I comment out that line it works also for my odroid-xu4
in non-hs400 mode.

Tested on odroid-xu4 with odroid-xu3_defconfig after applying the
entire series, without any other changes.

Best regards,
Henrik Grimler
