[PATCH 0/6] mmc: sdhci: a few fixes on timeout and max_discard_to

Patch 1~4 mainly fixes the issue that the max timeout counter for uSDHC is
1 << 28 rather than 1 << 27. 1~2 fix getting the max timeout counter
while 3~4 fix setting the max timeout.
Thus it introduces two new platform hook: get_max_timeout and set_timeout
for those platform which have different timeout setting.

This issue is firstly reported here by Ed Sutter:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mmc/msg23375.html
The root cause is the max_discard_to got from uSDHC is too small, only 677ms,
which cause the max_discard_bytes for eMMC is only 512, then the discard operation
of mkfs.ext3 for an eMMC card is too slow, just like dead.
With above patches, the issue can be fixed.

Patch 5~6 adds the capability to calcalute the max_discard_to dynamically
for SDHCI_QUIRK_DATA_TIMEOUT_USES_SDCLK.

Originally the max_discard_to for a high speed sdhc card may be:
mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
mmc1: calculated max. discard sectors 49152 for timeout 1355 ms
After fix:
mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
mmc1: calculated max. discard sectors 712704 for timeout 5422 ms

It also improves the card discard performance a lot due to max_discard_sectors
increase a lot.

There's also discussion about remove max_discard_to limit here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mmc/msg23395.html
But it does not help for uSDHC since we can observe data timeout
on a Toshiba SD3.0 cards if we do not disable data timeout interrupt.
