[PATCH 4/7] mmc_spi: do not check CID and CSD blocks with CRC16

[Wolfgang Mües]

From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

o Some cards are not able to calculate a valid CRC16 value
  for CID and CSD reads (CRC for 512 byte data blocks is OK).
  So ommit the check for CRC16, as CID and CSD have a checksum
  inside the block.

This is one of a line of patches to enhance the usability of
the mmc spi host port driver from "don't work with most SD cards"
to "work with nearly all SD cards" (including those ugly cards
with non-byte-aligned responses).
