This is the best functionality I've been able to get prior to the patches:
root@ouya:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios
clock:          30000000 Hz
actual clock:   29142858 Hz
vdd:            21 (3.3 ~ 3.4 V)
bus mode:       2 (push-pull)
chip select:    0 (don't care)
power mode:     2 (on)
bus width:      3 (8 bits)
timing spec:    9 (mmc HS200)
signal voltage: 1 (1.80 V)
driver type:    0 (driver type B)

Now I am trying DDR, but even with the patches I'm not able to remain 
stable above 17Mhz (34Mhz clock).

I've also tried just straight mmc-hs mode, but even that makes no 
difference.

That was my first issue, which was preventing sdmmc4 from working at all.
Just double checked all of the spare function pins, they are all 
assigned elsewhere.

Indeed, I have the full patchset.

Ouya is an old android game console that I've been working on getting 
mainline working on.
I've written most of the device tree, with contributions from Matt Merhar.
It's almost bit for bit a cardhu dev board, but with everything not 
necessary to function removed.
They cut a lot of corners with the board design.
Last stable kernel was 3.2, but it ran fine at 52mhz, mind you it 
reported it was running mode 5.

To get this speed, I have the pins all driven down at 4, and up at 24.
Default is 2 down and 18 up from driver init.
The pin pull ups are exactly as the original kernel, all pins pulled up 
except reset, which is pulled down.
