This patch adds SDHCI_QUIRK_FSL quirk. The quirk is used to instruct
the sdhci driver about various FSL eSDHC host incompatibilities:
No device quirks please. They should be for specific bugs, not lumping
things together like this. Otherwise we'll soon have an unmanageable
mess.
1) FSL eSDHC controllers can support maximum block size up to 4096
   bytes. The MBL (Maximum Block Length) field in the capabilities
   register extended by one bit.

   (Should we implement a dedicated quirk for this? I.e.
    SDHCI_QUIRK_MAX_BLK_SZ_4096?)
Yes please. It would have to mean "always support 4096" though, not
"turn reserved bit 18 into a block length bit".
2) sdhci_init() is needed after error conditions.

   (Can we safely do this for all controllers?)
Please investigate which part of sdhci_init() is needed. How does it
break without this?
3) Small udelay is needed to make eSDHC work in PIO mode. Without
   the delay reading causes endless interrupt storm, and writing
   corrupts data. The first guess would be that we must wait for
   some bit in some register, but I didn't find any reliable bits
   that changes before and after the delay. Though, more investigation
   on this is in my todo list.
Please try to investigate more, but if you cannot improve it further
then a specific quirk can be added.
