Its hard to keep track of which modes have values and which don't when
you add an array. This scheme is just easier on anyone adding new values
or updating old values.

We already disable speed modes based on platform specific properties in
other drivers. In sdhci-omap.c, the driver disables the corresponding
speed mode if the corresponding pinmux and iodelay values are not populated.
