When DMA transfer error with -EILSEQ, the request will retry some times,
but when with errno -EINVAL, the request will be aborted directly.
At the same time the DMA transfer error truely beacuse of the Illegal
byte sequence,
so -EILSEQ is used to instead of -EINVAL.

When the request is resent, the card_clock will be still set to
UHS_SDR104_MAX_DTR,
so card_clock == UHS_SDR104_MAX_DTR will be always true.
The times of DMA transfer error occurrs recorded in dma_error_count,
and the card_clock will be changed to UHS_SDR104_MAX_DTR -
dma_error_count * 20000000.
I have tested the code, the finally clock will be reduced step by step
with the increase of dma_error_count.
