The current drive strength values are not sufficient on non discrete
boards and this leads to CRC errors during switching to HS400 enhanced
strobe mode.

Hardware simulation results on non discrete boards shows up that use the
maximum drive strength values for data and command lines could helps
in avoiding these CRC errors.

So, update data and command line drive strength values to maximum.

I found this CL because you created a bug for it (thanks!), but it
would have also been nice if you had CCed some folks from Google that
work on the trogdor project on your patch.

I could be convinced that this is the right thing to do, but I want to
really make sure that it has had sufficient testing. Specifically as
this patch is written we'll be updating the drive strength for all
boards. Increasing the drive strength can sometimes introduce new
problems (reflections, noise, ...) so we have to be confident that
we're not breaking someone that used to work by increasing the drive
strength here. How much has this been tested?
