The requirement of doing re-tuning is stated in the eMMC/SD specs. The SDHCI spec is just adopting to what these specs already states. Then, I think the mmc core is the only one, who shall be able of enable/disable re-tuning and thus we shouldn't need any APIs for that. Hosts needs to be able to flag that re-tuning is needed and to configure the re-tuning timeout (optional).
