[PATCH 4/7 revised] mmc_spi: do not check CID and CSD blocks with CRC16

[Wolfgang Mües]

From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

o Some cards are not able to calculate a valid CRC16 value
  for CID and CSD reads (CRC for 512 byte data blocks is OK).
  So ommit the check for CRC16, as CID and CSD have a checksum
  inside the block.

This is patch #4 revised to apply after #1,#2,#5 (already applied) 
and #3 (acked by David Brownell). Documentation was extended.
There were some suggestions to move this check into an upper layer
but none of these tries were a valid solution, so stick with this
minimal change here in the readblock function.
