mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc: Prevent illegal clock reduction in HS200/HS400 mode

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 31.01.2026 Published: 14.02.2026 Updated: 14.02.2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc: Prevent illegal clock reduction in HS200/HS400 mode

When operating in HS200 or HS400 timing modes, reducing the clock frequency below 52MHz will lead to link broken as the Rockchip DWC MSHC controller requires maintaining a minimum clock of 52MHz in these modes.

Add a check to prevent illegal clock reduction through debugfs:
