OK, then I can remove the hclk_enabled and sclk_enabled.

As you see, we only check the "busy state" BEFORE issue a R1B command or
with data command, but do not check if AFTER the request was done, that
would do not match the "MMC_CAP_WAIT_WHILE_BUSY"(eg. CMD5 to sleep)
In addition, about CMD5, I find that the suspend/resume flow of EMMC is
stranger in new kernel version, when suspend, it may issue CMD5 to enter
sleep mode, then power off MMC, but when resume, it will
re-initialization, So that why need do the redundant CMD5 in suspend ?

before any read/write command, core will issue CMD13 to confirm card
status, here is just only do double confirm to avoid HW issue.
