Are you certain?  In "drivers/mmc/core/core.c" I see:

static const unsigned freqs[] = { 400000, 300000, 200000, 100000 };

In ID mode if 400kHz, 300kHz, 200kHz all fail then it will try 100kHz.

Right, it's OK to error on the long side since it is really a pretty
serious error if the DLL doesn't lock and delaying tens of
milliseconds in this case is not a huge deal.

By calculation.

>>> 10.2 us * (50000000 Hz / 100000 Hz)
5100.0 us, or 5.1 ms

I'll add clarification to the comment.
