Hi Luke,

Thanks for your patch.

I am not convinced this is an improvement. If 200mhz is missing, it's understood
that it's not supported. Now if 100mhz is missing, it means something different
depending on whether state_200mhz exists or not. This is more mental overhead
than having:

  pinctrl-names = "default", "state_100mhz", "state_200mhz";
  pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_usdhc1>;        
  pinctrl-1 = <&pinctrl_usdhc1_uhs>;   
  pinctrl-2 = <&pinctrl_usdhc1_uhs>;

where it's directly evident that you share pinctrl states.

This conflicts with the binding, which doesn't allow for state_200mhz
to exist without state_100mhz, so that would need adaptation.

As noted before though, I don't think we really need to change anything
here though.

Thanks,
Ahmad
