sdio: adaptive interrupt polling
The interrupt polling frequency is a compromise between power usage and interrupt latency. Unfortunately, it affects throughput rather severely for devices which require an interrupt for every chunk of data. By making the polling frequency adaptive, we get better throughput with those devices without sacficing too much power. Polling will quickly increase when there is an actual interrupt, and slowly fall back to the idle frequency when the interrupts stop coming. Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <drzeus@drzeus.cx>
