Some hosts (hardware configurations, or particular SD/MMC slots) may
not support 4-bit bus. For example, on MPC8569E-MDS boards we can
switch between serial (1-bit only) and nibble (4-bit) modes, thought
we have to disable more peripherals to work in 4-bit mode.

Along with some small core changes, this patch modifies sdhci-of
driver, so that now it looks for "mode" property in the device-tree.

Pierre, I'm not sure if a quirk would be appropriate here. If so,
I can redo the patch with FORCE_1_BIT_DATA quirk.

I'd prefer a quirk, yes. 4-bit support is mandated so this would be a
deviation from the spec and such should always be handled by quirks for
clarity.

(I do think it is silly that they made it mandatory though considering
the embedded market)
