Subject: [PATCH v2 13/16] mmc: Documentation: Add sysfs ABI for hpi_time_threshold

after which an ongoing request will not be preempted.
Explain the hpi_time_threhold parameter for MMC devices.

+Description:
+		High Priority Interrupt is a new feature defined in eMMC4.4
+		standard. If this feature is enabled, stack needs to decide
+		till what time since the last issued request is considered
+		preemptible. This attribute value (in milliseconds) is
+		used for arriving at the most optimal value for a specific
+		card. Default is zero, which also disables the feature, as
+		the request becomes non-preemptible immediately.
