The driver will most certainly already have the basic high speed modes
enabled. Or we can list them in the .dtsi file.

For HS-DDR mode, we probably want to list that in the .dtsi file as well,
as that seems to be the one that is failing most of the time.

All the UHS-1 modes would be listed by board, since it requires a way
to cut power to the card and the ability to change I/O voltage levels.

I wonder if Allwinner still keeps the timing information in the driver,
or have they moved that to their vendor device tree files. We might want
to consider moving it as well.
