Certain board configurations can make highspeed malfuction due to timing
issues. In these cases a way is needed to force the controller and card
into standard speed even if they otherwise appear to be capable of
highspeed.

The broken-highspeed property will let the sdhci driver know that
highspeed will not work.

I'm not sure "broken-hishspeed" property is relevant to only sdhci driver? otherwise on card side..?
Subject looks like only sdhci driver..And your RFC patch should be supported only SDHCI driver.
But your [patch 1/2] can cause the confusing in future..because there are just comment as "controller".

Then developer who refer to mmc.txt will add the property "broken-highspeed".
I'm not sure what is correct way..but to prevent confusing..you mentioned only "sdhci" driver or supporting other controller.

Best Regards,
