RFC PATCH 1/1 sdhci-of-arasan: card initialization failure -84

Work around repeated:

mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD card

---
 drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c | 1 +
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)

I'm seeing the above error -84 with a series of Kingston cards of 4GB capacity when used with an arasan host controller. Using the cards with other hosts or using other cards with the host is not problematic. The host controller has the following device tree:

	ps7-sdio at e0100000 {
		compatible = "arasan,sdhci-8.9a";
		reg = <0xe0100000 0x1000>;
		clock-names = "clk_xin", "clk_ahb";
		clock-frequency = <50000000>;
		clocks = <&clkc 21>, <&clkc 32>;
		interrupt-parent = <&ps7_scugic_0>;
		interrupts = <0 24 4>;
	};

When enabling sufficient debugging (and thus slowing the kernel down), the problem goes away. Without debug features, the insertion of this delay suffices for my particular instance. Inserting the same delay before the SDHCI_CLOCK_CARD_EN write also makes the error go away.

While instrumenting the code I found that the loop waiting for the SDHCI_CLOCK_INT_STABLE would always terminate immediately (regardless of the card being used). Only when the card is removed, the loop would spin once. This hints that potentially the stable checking is broken for this host controller.

During my testing I checked 7 Kingston cards, 2 Transcend Cards, 1 Apacer card, 3 arasn hosts, 3 non-arasan hosts and had consistent reports for a similar number of devices from others.

If my hypothesis is reasonable, I can turn this patch into a new quirk that replaces the stable polling with msleep(20), which is the poll timeout. Is there anything else I should investigate before doing so?

PATCH v2 1/1 mmc: sdhci-of-arasan: Add quirk for unstable clocks

Some controllers immediately report SDHCI_CLOCK_INT_STABLE after enabling the clock even when the clock is not stable. When used in conjunction with older/slower cards, this can result in:

mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD card

When the stable reporting is broken, we simply wait for the maximum stabilization period.
