[patch added to 3.12-stable] mmc: Allow forward compatibility for eMMC

[Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>]

From: Romain Izard <romain.izard.pro@gmail.com>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 03a59437ef6b6ad7fb0165cb9b96c08d6bf057fc upstream.

As stated by the eMMC 5.0 specification, a chip should not be rejected
only because of the revision stated in the EXT_CSD_REV field of the
EXT_CSD register.

Remove the control on this value, the control of the CSD_STRUCTURE field
should be sufficient to reject future incompatible changes.
