Thanks for looking this over.  I won't change for now in the patch
update in process.  This will likely get another look as I've added a
node to the device tree to enable an added reset driver which can
hardware reset the emmc.  The current cadence sdhci driver does not
include this and I've currently added filling out
mmc_host_ops.card_hw_reset like below, yet one more thing different
for our platforms not in the common driver.
