In the RPMB case there are 3 things to do:
	1. Do re-tuning at next command
	2. Hold re-tuning
	3. Release re-tuning

In the SDIO case there are 3 things to do:
	1. Prevent re-tuning at next command
	2. Hold re-tuning
	3. Release re-tuning

So the first thing is different.

To make them the same we would need to add a parameter to mmc_retune_pause()
i.e. something like

void mmc_retune_pause(struct mmc_host *host, bool retune_now)
{
	if (!host->retune_paused) {
		host->retune_paused = 1;
		mmc_retune_hold(host);
		if (retune_now)
			mmc_retune_needed(host);
		else
			host->retune_now = 0;
	}
}

For SDIO we would need to put the function declarations in sdio_func.h as
well as host.h.

Shall I make a V3 of these patches like that?
