The point we should note here is that MMC spec supports a max bus width of
8-bit. So anything beyond 8-bit is not in the picture as of today.

But, my bad on miss interpreting the snippet Felipe sent earlier.

if (mmc_slot(host).wires >= 8)
	mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_8_BIT_DATA;
if (mmc_slot(host).wires >= 4)
	mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_4_BIT_DATA;

I missed the fact that you removed the setting of 4-bit from the first
check.

I am okay with the above snippet as it is a trivial change that we are
trying to patch here which fixes an important issue.
