sdhci_send_command() polls the interrupt status and gives up after
SDHCI_READ_STATUS_TIMEOUT, but it evaluates the timeout before it looks at
the status it has just read. When a single status read takes longer than
the timeout, the command is reported as timed out although the response
and transfer-complete bits are already set, and the caller aborts an
otherwise successful transfer.
This happens on QEMU's SDHCI/eMMC model under TCG: a large ADMA transfer
runs in a timer callback while holding the big QEMU lock, so U-Boot's next
MMIO read blocks for seconds and the subsequent command appears to have
timed out ("Timeout for status update: 00000003 00000001").
Check for completion first and only then for the timeout.

I think its better to move this below the BROKEN_R1B block. For a
no-data R1B command, this now breaks out and calls sdhci_cmd_done()
when RESPONSE|DATA_END are set. The quirk currently returns success
directly once DAT is idle, without reading the response.
