[PATCH v3 1/7] mmc: sdhci-of-k1: enable essential clock infrastructure for SD operation

From: Iker Pedrosa

Date: Mon Mar 16 2026 - 10:06:23 EST


Ensure SD card pins receive clock signals by enabling pad clock
generation and overriding automatic clock gating. Required for all SD
operation modes.

The SDHC_GEN_PAD_CLK_ON setting in LEGACY_CTRL_REG is safe for both SD
and eMMC operation as both protocols use the same physical MMC interface
pins and require proper clock signal generation at the hardware level
for signal integrity and timing.

Additional SD-specific clock overrides (SDHC_OVRRD_CLK_OEN and
SDHC_FORCE_CLK_ON) are conditionally applied only for SD-only
controllers to handle removable card scenarios.
