[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] rockchip: mmc: rk3399: work around DMA issue in SPL

The RK3399 hangs during DMA of the Designware MMC controller, when
performing DMA-based transactions in SPL.  To work around this issue,
we disable DMA-based access modes in the SPL stage.

With this fix in place, we can now drop 'fifo-mode' in the DTS for the
RK3399-Q7 (Puma).

Changes in v2:
- Fixes switching to fifo_mode (should have been 1) in SPL. I broke
  this at the 11th hour due to sloppy preparation of the patch.
