Currently the EXT_CSD_CACHE_CTRL register is controlled by API
mmc_card_broken_hpi(), which only works for the quirks settings.
This commit enhances it to use card->ext_csd.hpi instead. This
flag works for both the quirks and the broken-hpi configuration
in the device tree.

I realize that the code around the HPI support needs some additional
love. Let me post some patches in a day or two, then you can have a
look a let me know your thoughts.

Actually, I don't see a reason to why we should limit to use the
cache, to whether HPI is supported or not.

I guess the thinking behind this, was that we wanted an option to
abort the cache flush as there is no timeout available for that
operation. However, I don't see whenever we should allow a cache flush
to be aborted, as it would introduce a potential option of getting
corrupt data on the flash.

Kind regards

Any reason for making a connection between HPI and Cache
in current driver implementation?
BTW, I missed it before, but the previous commit making this connection -
is also doesn't make any sense.
Although by the spec FLUSH_CACHE is interruptible command, I don't think
we should prevent devices with no HPI support, using the Cache.
Please correct me if I wrong, but the current driver implementation allows
to send HPI for BKOPS and Sanitize (on timeout error) commands only -
so why we should limit the FLUSH_CACHE command?


     		err = mmc_switch(card, EXT_CSD_CMD_SET_NORMAL,
     				EXT_CSD_CACHE_CTRL, 1,
     				card->ext_csd.generic_cmd6_time);

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I actually have the same question.
The change here is to fix a condition based on the existing code. Probably a better fix is to get rid of the 'connection'...
