This patch series aims to increase the reliability of the eMMC detection by 
exectuing the SEND_STATUS after SWITCH command on the lower frequency. 
Currently the driver will first switch the frequency to the new target and then 
execute SEND_STATUS to see if SWITCH was a success. While this behavior is not 
against the eMMC/SD specification it has been observed that on some designs 
switching to
HS200 @200MHz will make the SEND_STATUS fail consitently with CRC error(5/5 
times) while if we skip the SEND_STATUS and execute the clock tuning the link 
remains stable. My working theory (unconfirmed) is that CMD lane Tx path works 
fine so host is able to send command to the device (and that is why the clock 
tuning passes) but Rx path is broken so when device transmits response the CRC 
error is signaled(tuning command is a special case that doesn't send response 
on CMD). After the tuning is executed the CMD line seems to be working properly.
PATCHv2:
Removed unneccessary check in EmmcIsFrequencySupportedOnBusTiming as the code 
that calls bus timing switch has already validated the target frequency and any 
frequency lower then that is also valid.

Tests:
- Several platforms that have been failing before(some of them with 100% repro 
rate) have been stress tested and are able to detect eMMC device every time

Spec compliance:
While the spec doesn't require or forbids the host from sending the SEND_STATUS 
at any point in cards operation (with the exception of busy polling the SWITCH 
change but we are not doing that anyway) the HS200 switch sequence in eMMC 5.1 
specification section 6.6.2.2 indicates that host may send SEND_STATUS before 
changing the frequency. While it is not a hard requierment some eMMC vendors 
have indicated that the driver is at fault for not following the spec. After 
this patch the SEND_STATUS of every frequency upgrade path, including the 
switch from legacy timing -> HS200, will be sent before the frequency increase 
which will bring the driver closer to spec(although I don't think it can be 
said the driver violated it in the first place).
