Subject: [RFC v3 1/2] mmc: sdhci: Add device tree property sdhci-cap-speed-modes-broken

On some systems the sdhci capabilty registers are incorrect for one
reason or another.

The sdhci-cap-speed-modes-broken property will let the driver know that
the sdhci capability registers should not be relied on for speed modes.
Instead the driver should check the mmc generic DT bindings.
