Revy informed me that downclocking from 198 MHz to 100 MHz [1] has been
observed to solve this problem. Could you try the following dts patch?

Also, I have noticed the T-Head's 5.10 vendor kernel does have some
updates in sdhci-of-dwcmshc.c related to tuning. I'll look at porting
those to the upstream driving.

Thanks,
Drew

Downgrade max freq for microSD controller from 198 MHz to 100 MHz to
avoid timeout errors.
