This is the ip's limitation currently, that some mode can only operate 
at limited freq, rather than the max freq from spec.
Will upgrade to use ios->clock once the limitation is solved.

Could I treat this as Ack or Partially Ack for the next version :)

Update to

* clock-freq-table: should be the frequency (in Hz) array of the ciu clock
         in each supported mode.
         0. CIU clock rate in Hz for DS mode
         1. CIU clock rate in Hz for MMC HS mode
         2. CIU clock rate in Hz for SD HS mode
         3. CIU clock rate in Hz for SDR12 mode
         4. CIU clock rate in Hz for SDR25 mode
         5. CIU clock rate in Hz for SDR50 mode
         6. CIU clock rate in Hz for SDR104 mode
         7. CIU clock rate in Hz for DDR50 mode
         8. CIU clock rate in Hz for HS200 mode
