In my view, the host driver is not responsible for implementing the
mmc/sd/sdio protocol as such, that is the core layer responsibility.
Moreover I don't think you should consider this as a workaround, it is
a proper fix to make sure we follow eMMC spec.
I noticed you V2 patch, but would still like some more clear
information in there and maybe mention "boot time performance" instead
of just "performance".
Kind regards
