Is it that the same defconfig is used for two devices, one with and one
without HS400 support? If that's the case, guarding the call with
HS400_SUPPORT config options won't be a real fix.

mmc_of_parse() in mmc-uclass.h seems promising, this needs to be
integrated with dwmci_setup_cfg() in dw_mmc.c, and this change _may_ be
regressive in nature, so I may also need to add some safety guards for
this.

I will thus add this patch in the next rev. Would you be up to test the patch
for the concerned devices too?
