	Could you please tell me some details which are satisfied about card_candidate?

	I must admit that card_candidate in xenon_start_signal_voltage_switch() is imperfect.
	But card_candidate in init_card() and later in set_ios() work by design, rather than by accident. We did a lot of tests on several platforms.
	
	The structure mmc_card passed in here is a stable one. Thus in my very own opinion, it is safe and stable to use mmc_card here.
	card_candidate is used only in card initialization. It is not active in later transfers after initialization is done.
	It will always updated with mmc_card in next card initialization.

	Sorry. I didn't notice CMD53 check was added.
	I introduced this Auto-CMD12 hack since kernel 3.8. It seems that this check is not added in kernel 3.8.
	Thanks for the information. I will remove the Auto-CMD12 hack.

	RPMB go through the MMC ioctl routine.
	Unlike normal data transfer, MMC ioctl for RPMB explicitly issues CMD23. When CMD25 is issued, there is neither data->sbc nor Auto-CMD23.
	As a result, sdhci driver will automatically enable Auto-CMD12 for RPMB CMD25 if Auto-CMD12 flag is set.

	Actually, Auto-CMD23 is always used on our Xenon. Auto-CMD12 is not used at all.
	But since this driver is a general one for all Marvell products, Auto-CMD12 is also supported in case that Auto-CMD23 is not available.
