Yes. that's will be perfect.

However, currently this ip still has no such capability.
1. Input rate for init are diferent for different controller, not the 
init 400K, some are 13M, others are 25M, since different clock source.
This can be easily solved by clock-freq-init = <25000000>
2. There is maxmum limit, also can be easily solved by define CLK_MAX.
3. However some mode can not use the max speed from ios->clock
for example UHS_SDR104_MAX_DTR 208000000 can not be used, only half may 
be reached, at least currently.

Great, this works.

How about this desc

* clock-freq-table: should be the frequency (in Hz) array of the ciu 
clock
         in each supported timing. 

         1. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_LEGACY mode 

         2. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_MMC_HS mode
         3. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_SD_HS mode
         4. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_UHS_SDR12 mode 

         5. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_UHS_SDR25 mode 

         6. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_UHS_SDR50 mode 

         7. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_UHS_SDR104 mode 

         8. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_SD_HS mode 

         9. CIU clock rate in HZ for MMC_TIMING_MMC_HS200 mode
