[PATCH] mmc: sd: limit SD card power limit according to cards capabilities

The SD card specification allows cards to error out a SWITCH command
where the requested function in a group is not supported. The spec
provides for a set of capabilities which indicate which functions are
supported.
In the case of the power limit, requesting an unsupported power level
via the SWITCH command fails, resulting in the power level remaining at
the power-on default of 0.72W, even though the host and card may support
higher powers levels.
This has been seen with SanDisk 8GB cards, which support the default
0.72W and 1.44W (200mA and 400mA) in combination with an iMX6 host,
supporting up to 2.88W (800mA). This currently causes us to try to set
a power limit function value of '3' (2.88W) which the card errors out
on, and thereby causes the power level to remain at 0.72W rather than
the desired 1.44W.
Arrange to limit the selected current limit by the capabilities reported
by the card to avoid the SWITCH command failing. Select the highest
current limit that the host and card combination support.

This is a bug fix, and as such needs merging into v4.4-rc and stable
kernels. There is probably more to come on this, as the SD simplified
spec says that the power limit should be set _after_ switching to UHS
mode:
"In UHS-I mode, *after* selecting one of SDR50, SDR104 or DDR50 mode
by Function Group 1, host needs to change the Power Limit to enable
the card to operate in higher performance."
However, unlike this patch, I have not (yet) seen any detrimental
effects from setting this before.
