Hi,
Thanks for the patch!

Instead of the forward reference, can you simply move the entire
`litex_mmc_setclk` function definition to this location in the file?
(i.e., add a separate, "cosmetic" patch simply cut'n'pasting the
function body from one place to another, with a commit blurb stating
that it's in preparation for the idle-clock fix, and that it contains
only cosmetic, no functional changes)?
The idle-clock fix patch can then contain nothing but the
"#define SD_INIT_*" lines and the hunk below:
