According to JEDEC eMMC specification, after data transfer
(multiple or single block) host must wait for card ready
status. This is done by waiting for command and data lines
to be at idle state after transfer. JEDEC does not specify
maximum timeout.

Before this change max timeout was 10 ms but in case of UMS
- when system does multiple read/write operations on random
card blocks - timeout causes I/O errors.
The timeout has been increased to 200ms after data transfer.
For other transfers it stays unchanged. Default values are
now defined with "if defined" directive so it can be redefined
at board config if needed.

Tested on Goni and Trats.

Please do not apply this patch yet due to still not enough results on 
some targets.
Timeout value should depends on internal cards operations execution time 
but this time is unpredictably and that is why JEDEC not specifies it. 
Maybe u-boot sdhci driver needs some more changes to be more flexible 
for such operations. In example sdhci background operations timeout at 
kernel is specified to 4 minutes.
I need to make more research.

OK, this need to be fleshed out a bit more.

Please keep me in the loop cause this sounds board-specific.
Perhaps the CONFIG_* option is a sound idea; real world is messy like that.
