[PATCH V4 3/4] mmc: mmci: Adapt to register write restrictions

After a write to the MMCICLOCK register data cannot be written to this
register for three feedback clock cycles. Writes to the MMCIPOWER
register must be separated by three MCLK cycles. Previously no issues
has been observered, but using higher ARM clock frequencies on STE-
platforms has triggered this problem.

The MMCICLOCK register is written to in .set_ios and for some data
transmissions for SDIO. We do not need a delay at the data transmission
path, because sending and receiving data will require more than three
clock cycles. Then we use a simple logic to only delay in .set_ios and
thus we don't affect throughput performance.
