> This patch is to fix an issue found on mb86s7x platforms.
>
> [symptom]
> There are some UHS-1 SD memory cards sometimes cannot be detected correctly,
> e.g., Transcend 600x SDXC 64GB UHS-1 memory card.
> During Signal Voltage Switch Procedure, failure to switch is indicated
> by the card holding DAT[3:0] low.
>
> [analysis]
> According to SD Host Controller Simplified Specification Version 3.00
> chapter 3.6.1, the Signal Voltage Switch Procedure should be:
> (1) Check S18A; (2) Issue CMD11; (3) Check CMD 11 response;
> (4) Stop providing SD clock; (5) Check DAT[3:0] should be 0000b;
> (6) Set 1.8V Signal Enable; (7) Wait 5ms; (8) Check 1.8V Signal Enable;
> (9) Provide SD Clock; (10) Wait 1ms; (11) Check DAT[3:0] should be 1111b;
> (12) error handling
>
> With CONFIG_MMC_CLKGATE=y, sometimes there is one more gating/un-gating
> SD clock between (2) and (3). In this case, some UHS-1 SD cards will hold
> DAT[3:0] 0000b at (11) and thus fails Signal Voltage Switch Procedure.
>
> [solution]
> By mmc_host_clk_hold() before CMD11, the additional gating/un-gating
> SD clock between (2) and (3) can be prevented and thus no failure at (11).
> It has been verified with many UHS-1 SD cards on mb86s7x platforms and
> works correctly.
