It's the host driver's responsibility to ensure card is not in busy
state before issue the next R1B command, or the MMC core layer needs do
extra check/waiting before issue a R1B command.
I think the purpose of "re-tune" is trying to cover particular case(eg.
voltage fluctuate or EMI or some glitch of host/device which caused CRC
error) , but in such cases, too many cases are disable re-tune function
by mmc_retune_hold(), for example, in this case, if a response CRC error
got then we never have chance to recover it. then cause system cannot
access emmc or suspend/resume fail.
