Subject: [PATCH v2] mmc: sdhci: Use Auto CMD Auto Select only when v4_mode
 is true

sdhci-of-dwcmshc meets an eMMC read performance regression with below
command after commit 427b6514d095 ("mmc: sdhci: Add Auto CMD Auto
Select support"):

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null bs=8192 count=100000

Before the commit, the above command gives 120MB/s
After the commit, the above command gives 51.3 MB/s

So it looks like sdhci-of-dwcmshc expects Version 4 Mode for Auto
CMD Auto Select. Fix the performance degradation by ensuring v4_mode
is true to use Auto CMD Auto Select.

Since v1:
  - add the performance degradation on sdhci-of-dwcmshc explanation in
    commit msg
  - add a comment in the code explaining we require Version 4 Mode because some
    controllers(e.g sdhci-of-dwcmshc) expect it that way.
