Please add to mci_print_caps()

Also, please extend mci_timing_tostr() to return "HS400ES" for enhanced
strobe.

The drive_strength is initialized by mmc_select_driver_type() and it
seems no one will have called it for HS400ES?

Should this not be _after_ the enhanced strobe setting, so we are able
to propagate an error on issues?

I would just append an ES suffix.
