Hi Tim,

I debug this issue these days, and find this is the I/O timing issue. 

Can you try to improve the pad I/O drive strength for DDR50 card? You can apply the following patch:

diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-esdhc-imx.c b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-esdhc-imx.c
index 6a1328e..4c3aeac 100644
--- a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-esdhc-imx.c
+++ b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-esdhc-imx.c
@@ -848,6 +848,7 @@ static int esdhc_change_pinstate(struct sdhci_host *host,

        switch (uhs) {
        case MMC_TIMING_UHS_SDR50:
+       case MMC_TIMING_UHS_DDR50:
                pinctrl = imx_data->pins_100mhz;
                break;
        case MMC_TIMING_UHS_SDR104:

If this patch also test pass on your side, I will upstream it.

By the way, I just confirm with our IC guys, the IC bug I mentioned in the before mail do not impact the software tuning method (MAN_TUNING), this IC bug just impact the STD_TUNING, sorry for the mislead.
