[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 1/1] Read mmc device memory capacity from EXT_CSD if memory is addressed by sector

Hello Everyone,

I believe, there is a bug in the mmc driver code pertaining to how u-boot 
detects memory size of an mmc device. However, I am not 100% sure, my solution 
conforms to the JEDEC standard. So I am putting it up for discussion.

Previously, sector count indicated by mmc devices in the EXT_CSD
would only be used in u-boot if the size indicated is greater than
2 GB. This seems to be incorrect. I am working with a 4 GB Micron
eMMC device that after partition configuration and setting the
user data area to enhanced mode has a remaining capacity of less
than 2 GB for the user data area. JESD84-B50 explicitly states in
6.2.4 that for these devices SEC_CNT from the EXT_CSD is still
valid even if the memory size for that device has dropped below
2 GB by the partition configuration applied. The access mode bits
from the OCR register seem to provide a better way to decide
whether to use the CSD-based C_SIZE & C_MULT or the EXT_CSD-based
SEC_CNT information when determining the device's capacity.

In particular, this fixes a bug where u-boot SPL would assign 0 to
mmc->block_dev.lba later on in the mmc_startup() function and
subsequently fail to load u-boot from that mmc due to the original
C_SIZE & C_MULT code assigning a 4 TB size to mmc->capacity, that
incorrect capacity never being overwritten by the SEC_CNT capacity
calculation (due to its size being less than 2 GB) and then finally
lldiv(mmc->capacity, mmc->read_bl_len) exceeding the 32-bit result
data type of mmc->block_dev.lba.
