No, the capability bit could be set by firmware and the DMA restriction
could be broken software, which would make the situation quite different.
sdhci.c will also accept the capabilities bits coming from another source.
Nevertheless, the programming is for non-broken hardware and the
SDHCI_QUIRK2_BROKEN_64_BIT_DMA will suffice otherwise.
