3.13.11.10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov at cogentembedded.com>

commit bb98d9d1d2e791f368295c9c09c9a03fe3ac0e62 upstream.

I spent a couple of days with the driver just hanging due to me forgetting to
specify the external crystal frequency,  so that clk_get_rate() returned 0 and
thus the loop in tmio_mmc_set_clock() never ended. I don't think that's an
acceptable behavior, so I suggest that the minimum frequency is checked for 0
in tmio_mmc_host_probe().
