The Allwinner A64 SoCs suffers from an arch timer implementation erratum,
where sometimes the lower 11 bits of the counter value erroneously
become all 0's or all 1's [1]. This leads to sudden jumps, both forwards and
backwards, with the latter one often showing weird behaviour.
Port the workaround proposed for Linux to U-Boot and activate it for all
A64 boards.
This fixes crashes when accessing MMC devices (SD cards), caused by a
recent change to actually use the counter value for timeout checks.
Fixes: 5ff8e54888 ("sunxi: improve throughput
in the sunxi_mmc driver")
