The GSC's IP is configured with a 32-bit DMA AXI
interface, so SDHCI_CAN_64BIT_V4 (caps bit 27) is not set by the
hardware. However, the controller still requires Host V4 mode
(HOST_CTRL2_R bit 12) to be enabled. Since dwcmshc_probe()
only calls sdhci_enable_v4_mode() when SDHCI_CAN_64BIT_V4
is set, the explicit call in dwcmshc_hpe_gsc_init() is necessary.

Thanks,
