Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] arm64: dts: rockchip: Disable DCMDs on RK3399's eMMC controller.

When using direct commands (DCMDs) on an RK3399, we get spurious
CQE completion interrupts for the DCMD transaction slot (#31):

The driver shows this message only for the first spurious interrupt
by using WARN_ONCE(). Changing this to WARN() shows, that this is
happening quite frequently (up to once a second).

Since the eMMC 5.1 specification, where CQE and CQHCI are specified,
does not mention that spurious TCN interrupts for DCMDs can be simply
ignored, we must assume that using this feature is not working reliably.

The current implementation uses DCMD for REQ_OP_FLUSH only, and
I could not see any performance/power impact when disabling
this optional feature for RK3399.

Therefore this patch disables DCMDs for RK3399.
