RTS5261 support SD mode and PCIe/NVMe mode. The workflow is as follows.
1.RTS5261 work in SD mode.
2.If card is plugged in, Host send CMD8 to ask card's PCIe availability.
3.If the card has PCIe availability, RTS5261 switch to PCIe/NVMe mode.
4.Mmc driver exit and NVMe driver start working.
5.If card is unplugged, RTS5261 will switch to SD mode.
We should send CMD8 in SD mode to ask card's PCIe availability, and the order of NVMe driver and rts5261 driver doesn't matter.
