Subject: [PATCH] mmc: rpmb: do not force a retune before RPMB switch

Requesting a retune before switching to the RPMB partition has been
observed to cause CRC errors on the RPMB reads (-EILSEQ).

Since RPMB reads can not be retried, the clients would be directly
affected by the errors.

This commit disables the retune request prior to switching to the RPMB
partition: mmc_retune_pause() no longer triggers a retune before the
pause period begins.

This was verified with the sdhci-of-arasan driver (ZynqMP) configured
for HS200 using two separate eMMC cards (DG4064 and 064GB2). In both
cases, the error was easy to reproduce triggering every few tenths of
reads.

 v2:
    mmc_retune_pause() no longer can trigger a retune.
    Keeping Avri Altman Acked-by since they are functionally equivalent.
 v1:
    modify mmc_retune_pause to optionally trigger a retune.
