The MMC subsystem handles looking for a card at probe time. Queuing up our own can race with the rest of the MMC subsystem and cause problems if we get unlucky with timing. Just remove our own detection. Specifically, I found that with just the right set of printouts in my system that one of the three SD/MMC devices in my system was having trouble probing. It would get an err -123 (-ENOMEDIUM) during probe. I found that the source of the error was in dw_mci_work_routine_card(). Adding more printouts to the code sometimes made this error go away, so it's a little touchy. You can see a snippet with my printouts in it (printouts were in set_ios() on an exynos5420 board with some of our local patches): [ 4.216595] dwmmc_exynos 12210000.dwmmc1: Using internal DMA controller.

If I remove this code then cards that are in the system at bootup are still detected just fine.
