The flag MMC_UHS2_SUPPORT is set at the beginning of mmc_uhs2_rescan_try_freq().
In UHS-II flow, it stays set.
If the attempt to UHS-II fails finally, it will be unset.

UHS-II cards use differential signals and don't need to signal voltage switch.
But the main task is to set the parameters of UHS-II card interface.
