Actually, it may hard to check card status, if host supports
MMC_CAP_WAIT_WHILE_BUSY or mmc->card_busy(), it will easy to know
current card status, or we must issue CMD13 to do polling, but as you
know, CMD13 may also gets response CRC error.

Thanks for explain the mechanism of mmc_retune_hold()

Yes, different R1B command need different handle, like CMD12, if card is
not in send/recv state, retry of CMD12 will get timeout.

At runtime, we don't know if current tune result is OK or unstable.
when analysis the fail log, then find the difference between OK and NG
result.
