[PATCH] mmc: rockchip_sdhci: Use bounce buffer in SPL to fix read performance

Hi all,

Please ignore this patch for now.

Reading more than 4 blocks with a single CMD18 command in PIO mode seem
to work much better after the HS200 mode series [1] together with a fix
so that the stack and simple malloc heap does not overlap.

I will send a different patch in next few days.

Regards,
Jonas
