Okay, I hope you can provide me a direction to go from here, because
it looks like it's doing exactly what it should do in this situation.
mmc core is requesting a rate (200k/100k).
clk core tries to find a parent to provide a clock that low and fails,
because the lowest possible parent is 750k.
clk_sdmmc(x) is listed as no-div, so it can't go any lower.

It seems to me that this error is sane, because other results of
einval you want to catch.
But einval in this case is fine, because
The thing that strikes me weird is currently clk_core thinks the
lowest possible freq here is 0, when in actuality it should be 750k,
am I correct here?
The mmc controller has an internal divider, so if my line of thinking
is correct here we should be more flexible here and request a rate
that's acceptable rather than just failing if it doesn't work.
But that's based on my limited understanding of how mmc core is
requesting this and what it expects in return.
