mmc_spi: speedup for slow cards, less wear-out
Speedup for slow cards by transfering more data at once. This patch also reduces the amount of wear-out of the flash blocks because fewer partial blocks are written. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@auerswald.de> Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <pierre@ossman.eu>
