This was why I posted up <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5623071/>. From that patch: > Specifically it looks like in certain error conditions (I saw this > with Response CRC errors) that data keeps showing up in the FIFO even > after the error is reported and the CD (command done) bit is set.

Hence a generic big delay seems like the only option. ...Addy instead fixed the problem using mmc_send_status() to try to detect when the transfer was all done and it apparently worked, but it seemed odd to me. My MMC "expertise" pretty much ends with looking for simple logic errors in the MMC driver, so my hope was that one of you guys would know this better... >> That would mean that against upstream you'd need to change >> mmc_send_tuning() to take in the card as well (or move the "host->card >> = card" assignment to before UHS init, which seems less desirable?) >> >> What do you think about that?

Well, if mmc_send_tuning() needed to call mmc_send_status() then mmc_send_tuning() would need the card parameter, right?
