I asked Addy to post upstream against mmc_send_tuning(), but I guess
he didn't (he posted against Alex's NAKed patch instead).

...when I talked to him about it, Addy was asserting that when tuning
fails it is important (at least on dw_mmc on rk3288) that we wait for
the card to stop being busy and that the way to detect was using
mmc_send_status().

That would mean that against upstream you'd need to change
mmc_send_tuning() to take in the card as well (or move the "host->card
= card" assignment to before UHS init, which seems less desirable?)

What do you think about that?  Is there a better solution?
