SOC level feature, thought it has dependency on the board to provide the 
right voltage to the card.

@udit, I did some profiling with UHS enabled at the R5 stage on 
J784s4-EVM but I see no performance gain there, likely due to the fact 
that the R5 stage takes up very minimal percentage of the boot time. 
This patch can go in as it is.
