poor performance with W2CBW003 (Marvell 8686)

[hong zhang]

Actually, you have to check SDIO driver done by TI.
There are 5 SDIO pins need to check. 4 data pins and one clock pin.

Double check the SDIO pins muxs and clock rate using TI reference manual.

By performance issues.
1. bit modes 1 or 4
2. interrupt/PIO
3. SDIO clock rate

Command 52 and 53 are important.
See this link for SDIO reference.
