This serie of patches speed up access time of MVEBUMMC driver
This is allowed by a fix in MVEBUMMC init status check inspired from linux MVSDIO driver.
* Hardware weirdness. The FIFO_EMPTY bit of the HW_STATE
* register is sometimes not set before a while when some
* "unusual" data block sizes are used (such as with the SWITCH
* command), even despite the fact that the XFER_DONE interrupt
* was raised. And if another data transfer starts before
* this bit comes to good sense (which eventually happens by
* itself) then the new transfer simply fails with a timeout.
It allows about 10x to 40x faster access time transfer on SHEEVAPLUG MMC
It may also fixes some SD types incompatibilities
