It doesn't work for our controllers.  Even if the data timeout interrupt is
disabled, it seems like the timeout still "happens" in some fashion - after
which the host controller starts misbehaving.

So you will need to add a quirk.

If it has a value, actual_clock is better than ios->clock.

Doesn't need MSEC_PER_SEC multiplier.

cmd could be the sbc or a stop cmd or a command during transfer, so this
needs more logic.

sdhci can have 2 requests in progress to allow for commands to be sent while
a data transfer is in progress, so this is not necessarily the data transfer
request that is done.  Also we want to avoid unnecessary register writes.

I don't think the macro helps make the code more readable.  Might just as
well write a nice function to calculate the entire data request timeout.

msecs_to_jiffies() will truncate to 'unsigned int' anyway, so this might as
well be 'unsigned int'.
