[PATCH] mci: sdhci: don't hang indefinitely waiting for DMA completion

barebox was observed to hang on an i.MX8MP while reading ext_csd from
a broken eMMC that even bootROM refused to boot from. For PIO, we
already have a maximum wait time of 10s. Do the same for DMA.

It's unlikely that in that state any further communication with the card
will work, but at least, the system isn't stuck and the shell can be
reached. The reset is done on the off-chance that the DMA would've completed
after the 10s and corrupted memory if not disabled.
