Subject: [PATCH v3] CHROMIUM: mmc: Set pref erase size based on size.

If available, eMMC stack uses HC_ERASE_GRP_SIZE as erase size.
The perfererred erase size may need to be bigger to ensure discard
operations are not too slow.
Some high capacity eMMC (64MB) reports erase size to 512kB, resulting in
long discard time.
Calculate prefeerred erase size based on eMMC size.

 v2: fix comments
 v3: rereading the patch, we should not compare to hc_erase_size again,
     it has already been set properly in the caller function.
