Werner Almesberger bf62b209e5 ubb-la/ubb-la.c: raise MMC bus clock to 84 MHz during overhead
We also de-optimize the start bit (DAT0=0) phase for now. In the
12 MHz scenario, this produces the following results:

1       3       gap+0   2       0       1       3
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
8               38              26      100     146
        102     38      26                      6
        52      39      26                      55
        147     41      26                      105
97              39              26      10      146

Note that the gap now includes the start bit phase, since the clock
change may complicate the calculation of how many 12 MHz samples
it corresponds to.

Blinkenlights
-------------

This project is a proof of concept implementation of Rikard Lindstrom's
idea of using the Ben's 8:10 card slot as a general extension interface
also for devices that don't speak MMC or SD/SDIO. The application is a
simple LED circuit, as suggested by David Samblas.

The 8:10 card slot gives access to six GPIOs, a 3.3 V supply that can
be switched on and off by software, and ground. We use a simple form of
multiplexing to drive ten LEDs with this interface.

Note that one should only light one LED at a time. If multiple LEDs are
lit, they will share the current though the common resistor, and will
thus be less bright than a single LED.
