Yes..it's redundant..i should be combined to "snps,dw-mshc".

SDMMC_CMD_USE_HOLD_REG didn't come with new revision..It's using continuously.
But it's difficult to use the generic feature..because it's considered the below things.

If Card is SDR50/SDR104/DDR50 mode..
	1) and phase shift of cclk_in_drv is 0 then SDMMC_CMD_USE_HOLD_REG bit is set to 0,
	2) and phase shift of cclk_in_drv > 0 then SDMMC_CMD_USE_HOLD_REG bit is set to 1,
If Card is SDR12/SDR25 mode, then this bit is set to 1.

We need to check phase shift scheme..but as i knew, each SoC have been implemented differently for phase shift.
(Phase shift have dependency to SoC.)

And it have to check HCON register..there is IMPLEMENT_HOLD_REG(bit[22]).
(It described whether IP have hold register or not)

I didn't read this thread entirely.
I'm not sure what you have discussed..but my understanding is right..i recommend to use "snps,dw-mshc" for ARC compat string.
Otherwise it need to add "dw_mmc-<SoC>.c". dw_mmc-pltfm.c should provide the basic dw-mmc controller functionality.

After read this thread entirely, i will check more detailed what you discussed.
If i missed something, let me know, plz.
