Since the beginning of this driver which was initially for the MPC8379
and MPC8536 SoCs, there is this spurious 1ms delay. According to the
comment it should actually be only 8 clock cycles. Esp. during EFI block
transfers, this 1ms add up to a significant delay and slows down EFI
boot.
I couldn't find any mention in the MPC8536 that there should be a delay
of 8 clock cycles between commands. The SD card specification mentions that
the clock has to be left enabled for 8 cycles after a command or
response. But I don't see how this delay will help with this.
Go ahead and just remove it. If there will ever be any regression we can
introduce a compile time flag, but for now I'd like to keep it simple.
In the split off imx driver this delay was also removed in commit
9098682200e6 ("mmc: fsl_esdhc_imx: remove the 1ms delay before sending
command").
