The glitch should be related to the SoC IP intergration, switch pinctrl setting
(change alt from GPIO to USDHC) impact the internal loopback path. If pinctrl
config the pad to GPIO function, once DDR_EN configed, the dll delay will fix
based on the GPIO function loopback path, but then change the pinctrl to function
USDHC, the internal loopback path change, the original fixed sample point maybe
not suitable for current loopback path.

Luke, please add this in the commit log.
