Subject: [PATCH v2] mmc: Set pref erase size based on size.

If available, eMMC stack uses HC_ERASE_GRP_SIZE as preferred erase size.
However, that size is the minimal size we must use, not the optimal size.
Calculate the optimal size based on whole device size and fall back to
HC_ERASE_GRP_SIZE if too small.
