Do you plan to add the 5ms delay again?

Ok, seems fragile.

So the controller itself supports UHS-I modes, but a given board may not
have the regulator to support them. We need a way to determine if the
board can support the UHS-I modes. Now we could check to see if the
regulator is present in the Tegra SDHCI driver and if not remove the cap
flags. However, I was not sure if this is applicable to other sdhci
controllers and so there should be a generic solution for this?
