OK, how about:
/*
* We need to disable low power mode (automatic clock stop)
* while doing voltage switch so we don't confuse the card,
* since stopping the clock is a specific part of the UHS
* voltage change dance.
*
* Note that low power mode (SDMMC_CLKEN_LOW_PWR) will be
* unconditionally turned back on in dw_mci_setup_bus() if it's
* ever called with a non-zero clock. That shouldn't happen
* until the voltage change is all done.
*/
Yuvaraj: can you include that in the next patch set you send out?
