PATCH 1/1 mmc: sdhci-pci-gli: increase 1.8V regulator wait

Inserting an SD-card on an Intel NUC10i3FNK4 (which contains a GL9755) results in the message:

mmc0: 1.8V regulator output did not become stable

Following this message, some cards work (sometimes), but most cards fail with EILSEQ. This behaviour is observed on Debian 10 running kernel 4.19.188, but also with 5.8.18 and 5.11.15.

The driver currently waits 5ms after switching on the 1.8V regulator for it to become stable. Increasing this to 10ms gets rid of the warning about stability, but most cards still fail. Increasing it to 20ms gets some cards working (a 32GB Samsung micro SD works, a 128GB ADATA doesn't). At 50ms, the ADATA works most of the time, and at 100ms both cards work reliably.

If it is convenient, can you provide the appearance pictures and product links of these two cards? We want to buy them.

Looks good for me.

Hi Ben,

The first is a Samsung EVO microSDXC 32GB:

    https://www.samsung.com/nz/memory-storage/memory-card/evo-plus-microsd-card-95-mbs-sd-adapter-32gb-mb-mc32ga-apc/

The second is an ADATA Premier Pro SDXC UHS-I U3 Class 10 (V30S) 128GB:

    https://www.adata.com/us/consumer/289

The images on those two pages match what I have in front of me here.

Cheers,
Daniel
