For information security purpose, some companies or business users set their notebook SD as "read only".
Because a lot of "read only" requirements from those companies or business users, notebook vendor controls reader write protect pin to achieve it.
Notebook BIOS might have option to choose "read only" or not.
This is why we think write protect is more important than speed.
If you prefer to consistent behavior, I can ignore the write protect switch for SD express.

In init_sd_express() driver sets 0xFF54 bit0=1 and 0xFF55 bit4=0, then RTS5261 will switch MCU and enter SD EXPRESS mode.
After that RTS5261 can't receive any CMD from PCIe, so mmc_power_off() will not work.
