Yes, but if we ignore the CRC error check, how do we know current
response is correct or incorrect ? if card is still busy but we get the
response of 0x900 caused by latching error, then it still consider that
card has already changed to trans state.
So, it's better to never use CMD13 when change the speed mode.

In general, generic_cmd6_time is enough, unless the card has firmware

this is what I want to do it, use the ops->card_busy() to check DAT0
status. if a host do not support MMC_CAP_WAIT_WHILE_BUSY and there is
no ops->card_busy(), then the only way is wait a fixed
timeout(generic_cmd6_time).
