In an earlier mail, you said: > Here it tries 3 frequencies, which takes 290 ms: > In a meanwhile it is doing other things, so not much time is wasted. I decided to check this. If my emulated failing of bringing up a card at a given frequency is correct, 14ms per frequency attempt is spent in mdelay() rather than msleep(). I don't think this is a problem, though, because you only take that hit if you have a card inserted that we're unable to bring up at the default frequency -- the only alternative would be to give up on the card. If a host has no card inserted then we still try to detect a card on all frequencies, but all of the paths in that case are msleep() rather than mdelay(), so that's okay.
