Hi,
It initially started happening after the patch by Yuvaraj CD ("mmc:
dw_mmc: enable controller interrupt before calling mmc_start_host").
Basically after hard resetting the board the card would be in a dodgy
state, and I'd get these elusive errors after boot (see the above patch
thread for details). It was specifically the position of the prink that
it was sensitive to (I have a JTAG console turned on which adds big
latencies to prinks, so it's clearly some kind of race). Unplugging the
card cleared the problem, as did cutting the power to the card for a
sufficient amount of time. While trying to debug the messages I saw
these power callbacks and thought I'd try them as they seem like a much
better place to control the card power, and seem to match other host
drivers too, and it fixed the problem, I presume due to the intentional
delays around those calls. It is of course possible that the race is
just hiding again, but I think the patch is an improvement regardless.
Cheers
James
