So far max_blk_count isn't set what results in a default of value 8
to be used (PAGE_SIZE / block size).
Set max_blk_count to 256 as used in the uboot driver.

A step in the right direction, but the # blocks is actually a 9-bit
field (c.f. length field of cmd_cfg part of descriptor (bits 8:0).

So this should be more like:

	/* blk count is 'length' field of cmd_cfg part of descriptor */
	mmc->max_blk_count = CMD_CFG_LENGTH_MASK + 1;

I tested that change locally, so after changing that, please resend and
feel free to add:

max_blk_count = 0 means unlimited number of blocks. Therefore I think
we have to go with: mmc->max_blk_count = CMD_CFG_LENGTH_MASK
And I figured out later that we also have to set mmc->max_req_size.

In my tests the system never read / wrote more than 8 blocks in a row,
most likely because the upper block layers use 4k blocks.

Therefore setting max_blk_count doesn't really provide a benefit but
I think it's cleaner to expose the actual chip limit.

Rgds, Heiner

Ah, yes.  Good catch.
