[U-Boot] [PATCH] Timeout for SDHCI commands

The patch in the following mail is a result of a problem I had using an eMMC
device on a Xilinx Zynq ARM processor. It turned out that the waiting for a
certain response from the SDIO interface was made with a plain loop, with
no absolute time measurement. Since I'm using a relatively fast processor,
the timeout expired before the eMMC chip managed to acknowledge an
mmc_switch() with EXT_CSD_HS_TIMING.

This patch fixes the problem on my board, and eMMC works properly with it.
However I can't say that I really understand what I did, and the 100 ms
timeout was chosen with a finger in the wind. If there's a reason why the
timeout should be longer or shorter, this is a good time to come forward.

Thanks,
  Eli
