[PATCH 2/2] mmc: mmci: Fix incorrect handling of HW flow control for SDIO

From: Stefan Nilsson XK <stefan.xk.nilsson at stericsson.com>

For data writes smaller <= 8 bytes (only SDIO case), HW flow control was
disabled but never re-enabled again. This meant that a following large read
request would randomly give buffer overrun errors.

Moreover HW flow control is not needed for transfers that fits in the
FIFO of PL18x. Thus it is disabled for write operations <= the FIFO size.
