[U-Boot] [PATCH] fsl_esdhc: Do not clear interrupt status bits until data processed

After waiting for the command completion event, the interrupt status
bits, that occured to be set by that time, are cleared by writing them
back. It is supposed, that it should be command related bits (command
complete and may be command errors).

However, in some cases the DMA already completes by that time before
the full transaction completes. The corresponding DINT bit gets set
and then cleared before even entering the loop, waiting for data part
completion. That waiting loop never gets this bit set, causing the
operation to hang. This is reported to happen, for example, for write
operation of 1 sector to upper area (block #7400000) of SanDisk Ultra II
8GB card.

The solution could be to explicitly clear only command related interrupt
status bits. However, since subsequent processing does not rely on
any command bits state, it could be easier just to remove clearing
of any bits at that point, leaving them all until all data processing
completes. After that the whole register will be cleared at once.

Also, on occasion, interrupts masking moved to before writing the command,
just for the case there should be no chance of interrupt between the first
command and interrupts masking.
