mmc: sdhci-cadence: rename SD4HC symbols for SD6HC groundwork

SD4HC PHY helpers and the default ops/drv_data are not marked as
version-specific, so it is unclear what is shared versus SD4HC-only
ahead of SD6HC support.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but can this error handling logic
lead to uninitialized writes later?

If of_property_present() in sdhci_cdns4_phy_param_count() returns true for a
property (e.g., an empty boolean flag), the global count nr_phy_params is
incremented. However, if of_property_read_u32() fails here, the pointer p is
not incremented, but nr_phy_params is never decremented to reflect the
skipped entry.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue tied to the above parsing logic, but could this
loop process trailing zero-initialized elements?

Because it iterates strictly over the original nr_phy_params count, a parsing
failure earlier means the array will contain trailing zero-initialized
elements. This would result in writing a value of 0 to addr = 0 (which
corresponds to SDHCI_CDNS_PHY_DLY_SD_HS).

Could this unintentionally overwrite the High-Speed delay configuration and
potentially break SD card initialization?
