I think 1sec is for flush cache, but I guess it makes sense to use it here as well.

Maybe 
If (err)
    card->ext_perf.feature_enabled &= ~SD_EXT_PERF_CACHE;

and move to out: to catch the sd_write_ext_reg err ?

If cache enablement failed, is it worthwhile to bail out?
Maybe disabling the cache with the appropriate message is enough?

I would expect 2 more patches in this series:
 - flush cache on power down
 - cache disablement events?
