The problem I had when thinking about it is that every implementation using 
the HOLD_REG stuff does it differently ... on the Exynos variant it depends on 
the CLKSEL register value and on the SOCFPGA variant on other clock values.

It's only on the Rockchip variant that it seems to needed all the time.

So, doing it with a "dw_mci_pltfm_prepare_command()" would need a flag to 
signal that the implementation needs the HOLD_REG all the time, but we won't 
know yet if other implementations will have other constraints on its use - 
like only i special cases or such.

So personally I would keep it as it is for now, until more platforms using the 
HOLD_REG come along to see some sort of pattern of its use?
