add user friendly command strings sd_wr_cache to enable/disable
write&read cache. user can enable both write and read cache by one of
the following commands:
echo w1r1 > cache_type
echo "write back" > cache_type
sd_wr_cache[] = {"w0r1", "w0r0", "w1r1", "w1r0"};
for sd_wr_cache 0 means disable, 1 means enable.
Encoding | WCE RCD | Write_cache Read_cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------
write through / w0r1 | 0 0 | off on
none / w0r0 | 0 1 | off off
write back / w1r1 | 1 0 | on on
write back, no read (daft) / w1r0 | 1 1 | on off
